C++: Engineers Wanted, Programmers not so Much

The software development world is groaning as it transforms into a mature engineering discipline. As C++ software projects both grow and age, a fundamental shift in mindset is happening, that from the programmer to the engineer. 

This talk explores the recent shifts in focus from language, to system, to business value in both the commercial and C++ standardization settings. We'll see, in particular, how this impacts conventions, maintenance, specifications, tools, and ideologies.
