Explore an innovative approach to associating metadata with code through anchoring in this 58-minute conference talk from ACCU 2019. Learn about the limitations of embedding metadata directly in code and discover how anchoring stores metadata separately, using context and text alignment algorithms to automatically update anchors as code changes. Examine the implementation of these concepts in the 'spor' tool, primarily written in Python with a partial Rust implementation. Understand how this technique is applied in Cosmic Ray, a mutation testing tool for Python. Gain insights from Austin Bingham, a founding director of Sixty North and experienced software developer, on this advanced topic in software engineering.
