Episode #12 - November 2021

This month discuss the best ways to pass `string_view`s, depend on Catch2 v3 and write beautiful C++.
We talk more about contracts and look at some new and upcoming tools from JetBrains,
as well as new releases of existing tools from JetBrains, SonarSource and Microsoft.
Phil also still manages to get an off-by-one error when mentioning off-by-one errors, at the end!
