C++ Meetup in Zurich, Switzerland 2025

March 14, 2025

The day after our lecture at ETH Zurich, think-cell will be hosting a C++ Meetup in Zurich for Switzerland’s professional C++ community. On the evening of March 14, we’ll gather with local C++ users and enthusiasts for expert talks, technical discussions, and networking over food and drinks at Blue Lion Space. Register here to attend: https://www.meetup.com/zurich-c-meetup/events/305775728

This will be think-cell’s first meetup co-hosted with the Zürich C++ Meetup community, and we’re excited to bring two expert talks from think-cell and tipi.build to the agenda:

Sebastian Theophil, Senior Software Engineer at think-cell
“Nobody Can Program Correctly: A Practical and Interactive Guide to Debugging C++ Code”
Sebastian will walk the audience through the entire debugging process, starting with a crashing program. He’ll explore key questions: What should we do next? What information do we need? How do we pinpoint the root cause? Which tools can assist us? And most importantly—how can we prevent similar bugs in the future? After the talk, there will be a short break for discussion.
Damien Buhl, Co-founder & CEO at tipi.build
“CMake CPS: What It Is and Why It Matters”
Damien will introduce CPS (Component Package Support) in CMake, explaining its fundamentals and real-world impact. He’ll share how his team implemented CMake target scanning, leveraged the CPS data model to maximize CPU build utilization, and improved build correctness in a large-scale codebase.

In addition to these talks, Anna and Anastasiia from our tech recruiting team will be there to network with the community, discuss open roles at think-cell, and showcase our unique work culture — where we prioritize an uncompromising dedication to code excellence, a flat structure with no meetings and no overtime.

March 14. Zurich. C++ Meetup. We’re really excited to meet the Zurich C++ community and look forward to our visit soon! See you there!
