Would you like your development team to make better use of their refactoring tools? Write more tests? Perhaps you've thought about doing some training sessions with them practicing with code katas. Would you like some help getting started with that?

Read on for some links to resources...

Do you enjoy refactoring? My latest video aims to persuade you to try my Supermarket Receipt Refactoring kata

Like @jaredwhite I saw this these ads for Copilot all over Github the other day. "code 55% faster with copilot" https://indieweb.social/@jaredwhite/111207496353593956

What if I spend 90% of my time refactoring? A LLM is not a refactoring tool! That's the topic of my latest youtube video: https://youtu.be/iXGBIX8gudE

Do you agree?

@emilybache I just belatedly got your "Technical Agile Coaching with the Samman method". I started a new job at which I think it will be v. useful! Thank you!

(ie high technical proficiency at specialist fields like ML and hardware, but combined with what I see as a corresponding lack of attention paid to mundane software craft. Hoping to socialise the changes I think we could benefit from.)

Is there any recent hands-on literature on refactoring code without tests? I know the standard book in this field is "Working effectively with legacy code" (and it is a classic) but it is now almost 20 y old. So any more recent literature/ course on the topic which I can recommend to my colleagues? #followerPower pls re-post

Have you tried the Gilded Rose Refactoring Kata? It's a fun little exercise.

I have just launched my YouTube channel 😱 and the first video (other than the channel trailer) is about this kata. I hope people like the video as well as the exercise!

In the video I explain the kata scenario, my contribution to the exercise and why I think thousands of developers have enjoyed doing it. ❤️

For my stay-cay, I do have a goal. My goal is to sit quietly, and simmer, and emerge with a plan that will both please me and feed me, as I hurtle headlong into that welcoming kindly good night.

I'm starting a YouTube channel!

As you probably know I already share a lot of materials and I've had a lot of technical coaches and developers tell me that that's really useful. So, I came up with a plan to do videos.

I'm a little nervous actually and appreciate feedback and suggestions on topics and content that would be useful for you and your colleagues. Please subscribe to the channel and share this post.

Can anyone recommend a freelancer web developer who is good with Jekyll? I could do with some help with my website.

Specifically: creating page templates with nice css for graphics, fonts etc, and adding some analytics. It's not going to be a huge number of hours, but I am willing to pay.

This essay is kind of depressing and but I found it an interesting read, about the future of the Internet in an age of large language models and the people who control them. I've also written many blog posts and published them openly. Is that going to be a good idea in future?

Anyone have any recommendations for getting started with rust? I have ordered the 2021 Steve Klabnik book and have started the little “getting started” tutorial on the website. Other suggestions appreciated.
