C++ features like templates and smart pointers can affect binary size; developers must navigate their impacts carefully.
Tools like Bloaty are essential for understanding contributions to firmware bloat, aiding developers in design decisions.
Binary optimization should be part of the entire development lifecycle, emphasizing size awareness within CI pipelines.
