NDC Conferences: Implicit Conversions Considered Harmful - Jason Turner - NDC TechTown 2025

Jason Turner’s NDC TechTown 2025 session dives into the often-overlooked world of C++ implicit conversions—the sneaky behind-the-scenes casts that keep your code compiling but can introduce subtle bugs and security risks. He breaks down real examples, challenges you with “what just happened?” compiler puzzles, and spills the tea on why some implicit casts are a recipe for disaster.

By the end, you’ll have a no-nonsense playbook for deciding which conversions are harmless shortcuts and which are ticking time bombs, helping you write cleaner, safer C++ without sacrificing convenience.
