Organizational Leadership with Modern C++
summary
Technical leadership drives modernization across ~75 developers working on an 11 million line Windows C++ codebase by using concrete practices: organized trip reports from conferences, weeky micro‑assignments to spread learning, compiler migrations tested with refactors, OpenGrok for whole‑repo searches, style‑guide enforced headers, replacing std::auto_ptr and function pointers with modern alternatives, using SFINAE JSON serialization to teach templates, adding static_assert guards, and enforcing gated CI builds to keep the tip green while steering 75 developers toward std::vector, range‑based for, and move semantics.
