This course explores the concept of tradeoffs in software engineering, emphasizing that there is often no singular "best" solution to a problem. Participants will learn about major tradeoffs and disagreements in C++ design, as well as encounter real-world issues faced during the creation of a modern C++ physical units library. The teaching method involves presenting various alternative solutions to problems and engaging the audience in decision-making processes. This course is intended for software architects, developers, and individuals interested in understanding the complexities of software design and the necessity of making tradeoffs in the field of software engineering.
