Tobias Mwangi has looked after the build for C++ teams for eleven years: CMake and package managers, CI pipelines, compiler upgrades, sanitizer and static-analysis runs, and the caches that keep a full rebuild bearable. He has interviewed C++ candidates for most of that time, from the first screen to the final code review.
He writes the Tooling and Careers sections: what to install and what is worth paying for, and what hiring for a C++ role looks like from the interviewer’s side of the table.
