Session Preview
summary
Preview explains why project-level interfaces matter, showing concrete fixes for packaging, builds, and distribution instead of abstract advice. Examples include five or six custom CMake modules used across a large codebase, using Compiler Explorer links for disposable experiments, and encountering exact-version pins in metadata that force coordinated upgrades. Recommendations cover minimal, repeatable project work that reduces user friction, tooling choices (CMake, packaging, dependency metadata) and lessons learned about maintainability and reproducibility in real-world C++ projects.
