Great British Bake-Off, except it’s C++ and you have to get 2 random Boost modules to compile with your app. you have 8 hours

NARRATOR
Tom, from Malmö, is trying to mask #includes with #ifdefs

TOM
My dad taught me to trust the preprocessor, it runs in the family really

HOST
Hope that’s not the only place it runs <wink>

NARRATOR
Sharif is only 19, but he has a plan: train a neural network to ignore the source and build the Boost module least likely to damage your program

SHARIF
I’m surprised no one thought of it sooner.

[pause]

it’s time to take GCC out of BCE!

HOST
Paul, you’ve got quite a long console output there

PAUL
Oh yeah I mean I figure if you just include boost.h and methodically solve the build error in order you’re gonna get there fastest

Some of our Turing-Completers are more proactive. Take Charlene from Edmonton - She’s got half a million AWS instances fuzzing random perturbations of the code. How’s it cracking, Charlene?

37 of them compiled, this one is like Minesweeper, but with blood
