The LibreOffice codebase is large and with a long history. Reading and understanding existing code may be difficult. This applies to reading code one is not familiar with, but also also to working with familiar code if the API is poorly designed. This talk will show some specific cases of poor API in LibreOffice, discuss ways of how to make it better, and will try to provide some general recommendations to keep in mind when writing code.
