Following last year’s hackathon, Infinera had another hackathon on the 5th of this month. As briefly mentioned in the last post, I decided at the last minute to participate in this year’s hackathon. Our idea was to provide a browser-based interface to our network elements, removing the need to have java installed as well as opening up the possibility of managing the network elements from any device with a standards-compliant web browser.
At the office, a manager recently picked random people from every team and tasked them with deciding on a common code formatting style that would then be enforced on the entire codebase. The tool that will be used for performing the actual formatting is astyle. His plan was for the group to talk to everyone in their respective teams and settle upon a style that would be acceptable to most of our colleagues.
