Thanks for the example! I especially found the commenting style and return type on its own line to be interesting.
Regarding placement of curly braces, did you see them on their own line or at the end? This article seems to imply that CNF had braces at the end: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/peterwie/2008/02/04/pedanti...
I'm interested because it seems that lower-level systems programming at Microsoft put braces at the end (early .NET BCL, maybe even the first C# compiler's C++ code, TypeScript compiler source, etc), but that Microsoft documentation tended to put braces on their own line and then that became the more de-facto style that shows up in their open source code.

Do you remember any details from Cutler Normal Form? I'd love to learn more about this.
From a quick search I see that it uses braces at the end. I'd be curious if CNF encouraged subsystem prefixes (e.g. the "Ke" in "KeBugCheck").
I wonder if CNF had any influence on "Systems Hungarian" (e.g. "dwCreationFlags") that dominates the Win32 API or if that came as an accidental offshoot of Simonyi's "Application Hungarian"

Dave Cutler is a legend, but he keeps a relatively low profile, so it was nice to watch the rare new video interview with him at the bottom. I especially liked what he said at the end:
"I have this little saying that the successful people in the world are the people that do the things that the unsuccessful ones won't. So I've always been this person that, you know.. I will build the system, I will fix the bugs, I will fix other people's bugs, I will fix build breaks. It's all part of getting the job done."
When I was a kid, I enjoyed reading "Show Stopper! The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft" that chronicled his move from DEC to build NT. Jeff Atwood has a quick review of it at http://blog.codinghorror.com/showstopper/

Anyone know if they're using React Native for this?

On Ubuntu, you can get the latest version via:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git --version
This updated Git for Windows project brings that same version to Windows.

It's nice to see Microsoft supporting this now that they've committed to Git in TFS/VSO. It's also good to have the latest version of Git.
Git on Windows has been stuck at 1.9.* for awhile and always in "preview" because it was never really meant for production usage since the main contributor wasn't able to spend much time on it (and even then, he didn't primarily use Windows): http://episodes.gitminutes.com/2014/04/gitminutes-28-johanne...
I applaud the work that Johannes Schindelin (and others) did to get Git on Windows for these past years of increasing usage and look forward to this project taking it to the next level.
