Explore a conference talk from Meeting C++ 2024 that delves into the complex concept of "completeness" in software engineering and its crucial role in delivering effective code changes. Learn how to move beyond basic code commits to achieve higher levels of engineering maturity through a comprehensive Software Engineering Completeness pyramid, modeled after Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Discover the various aspects of being "Done" that exist above the code level, including addressing code quality, managing technical debt, and balancing tactical fixes with strategic direction. Gain insights into how different levels of completeness directly correlate with engineering competence and proficiency, with a focus on the foundational two tiers of the pyramid. Understand how proper definition and execution of "Doneness" can drive superior software engineering practices, leading to more maintainable codebases, satisfied users, and clearer communication within development teams.
