Some Things I Wish I Hadn't Seen - Challenging Concurrency Patterns in Code

Explore complex concurrency patterns in code bases through the eyes of a Microsoft veteran in this 21-minute conference talk from ACM SIGPLAN's FOWM'24. Dive into Matthew J. Parkinson's 13-year journey of analyzing intricate programming practices, focusing on patterns that initially challenged his theoretical understanding. Discover examples that push the boundaries of conventional coding, serving as potential challenge problems for academia. Gain insights into the decision-making process behind accepting unconventional code structures and prepare to encounter programming scenarios that may challenge your own perceptions of best practices.
