The Human Side of MISRA C Compliance (Download)
"We're implementing MISRA C on this project." I've watched that announcement land in team meetings with the same response, almost always crossed arms, heavy sighs, and a palpable shift in the room's energy. The real battle is winning over your development team.
What often gets missed is that MISRA C compliance rarely fails because of technical difficulty. The rules can be learned, the tooling can be configured, and the violations can be fixed. The real challenge is convincing experienced developers that the standard exists to help them write safer software, not to undermine their judgment or slow them down.
