I was honored to speak with Guy Davidson, a legendary figure in the world of game programming. He’s the man with over two decades of experience at Creative Assembly (Total War franchise) the ISO C++ committee voting member and the author of the "Beautiful C++" book.

In our conversation, we discuss his programming journey, he shares his thoughts about C++ direction, he walks me through step by step how C++ Standards body operate, and then we discuss his approach to memory management and IO in game development!
