183: Robots Having Nervous Breakdowns

Philip Koopman (@BetterEmbSW) spoke with us about making better embedded software. His Better Embedded Systems Software blog has lots of great information including links to his growing video library. Two posts noted in the show:

• Recording Peer Reviews Spreadsheet
• Code Review Checklist

His company, Edge Case Research, performs design and code reviews and teaches how to do them. You can find out more about his course and background on his Carnegie Mellon University staff page. That also leads to the pretty amazing Vintage Aero paper airplanes.

Phil’s book is Better Embedded Software, available via koopman.us and (more expensively) Amazon.
