C++ Lecture at ETH Zurich, Switzerland 2025

March 13, 2025

In March 2025, our team will head to Zurich for an extensive visit, hosting several events for the local C++ professional community and students. The first will be a lecture at ETH Zürich by Sebastian Theophil, Senior Software Engineer.

We all enjoy writing code, but despite our best efforts, we sometimes make mistakes. Our programs may contain bugs—whether due to typos, misunderstandings of the programming language, or overlooked system environment factors. As a result, our programs may not behave as expected. So, what should we do next?

In his talk, "Nobody Can Program Correctly: A Practical and Interactive Guide to Debugging C++ Code," Sebastian will guide students through the entire debugging process, starting with a program that crashes. What should we do next? Which questions should we ask? What information do we need? How can we find the root cause of the crash? Which tools can assist us? And most importantly, how can we prevent similar bugs in the future?

The event will include catering, and Anna and Anastasia from our tech recruiting team will be present to introduce open C++ Intern and C++ Developer roles at think-cell and answer any questions students may have.

We are excited about this visit and look forward to meeting ETH Zurich students. See you soon!
