In this episode we are joined by Jamie Taylor of the , and Paul Seal from We're here to discuss being a better, more effective developer, and what makes you a bad developer. PVS STUDIO - PROMOTION This episode is sponsored by the PVS-Studio team, who promote static code analysis methodology in general and its PVS-Studio tools in particular. Static code analyzers allow you to find bugs in source code at the development stage. This helps to reduce the price of fixing them. PVS-Studio performs code analysis and issues warnings on the fragments of code with a high probability of having bugs and potential vulnerabilities in them. The tool supports C, C++, C# and Java, and it can work with Visual C++, GCC, Clang compilers, and some of those for embedded systems. The analyzer works on Windows, Linux and macOS. PVS-Studio can both be used as a stand-alone tool and also integrated with Visual Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, or SonarQube. In the show notes, you can find links to the PVS-Studio website and the article ‘Technologies used in the PVS-Studio code analyzer for finding bugs and potential vulnerabilities'.
