If you are excited by the tools available from the Clang/LLVM project but are unsure how to bring them into your company's codebase or culture, this is the talk for you. 

We'll cover how to make code standards-conformant and keep it that way, how to safely apply automated changes to codebases with few unit tests, and how to write custom tools to migrate away from those old container classes.
