🧹 I refactor Legacy Code and build tools to help you do the same! ✏️ understandlegacycode.com 🎩 Mr. Meetup Montréal • Software Crafters / React / TypeScript / Elixir 🍁 guild.host/montreal-tech/network

On vient de terminer les évaluations pour le CFP de /dev/mtl Le temps de valider avec les speakers sélectionnés, on vous annonce le programme la semaine prochaine! Pas mal de choses autour de la programmation avec l'IA… mais pas que 🤫

Google Play won't let me launch RoundForge (my free, combat-sports interval timer) until 12 testers run the beta for 14 days. I have 4. If you have an Android: send me your Google email, I'll add you + send an opt-in link. Install, keep it 2 weeks, done 🥊 Reposts help!

Stop hunting for app ideas. Start from friction. The best first tool (or agent skill) to build isn't something you invent. It's a problem you already have, done manually, repeatedly (and wish you didn't).

The lol when you anonymize CFP submissions via Sessionize… …and you end up attending one of the proposed talks, at another conference, a few months before! 😄 😉 That being said, the CFP for /dev/mtl is still open: sessionize.com/conference-d...

🌸✨ I just launched my annual Spring Sale! You can save up to 50% on my online courses. (I realize that it's basically summer in most of the northern hemisphere right now 😂. But up here in Canada, the flowers just started blooming! Look at the trees near my office.) Details in thread. 🧵

A handful of Japanese crabapple trees with bright pink flowers, with pink petals littering the ground, and a few pidgeons wandering around. An absolutely lovely scene.

J'ai voulu construire un "second brain" à la Karpathy pour mon quotidien de part-time Head of Engineering. Premier réflexe : 10 dossiers, 3 commandes, un rituel du soir. ▎ Tout jeté. Quelques pivots/Design Breakthroughs (sous stéroides) plus tard...

« when I pick up a new codebase [...] Before I look at a single file, the commit history gives me a diagnostic picture of the project: who built it, where the problems cluster, whether the team is shipping with confidence or tiptoeing around land mines. » piechowski.io/post/git-com...

The Git Commands I Run Before Reading Any Code

Five git commands that tell you where a codebase hurts before you open a single file. Churn hotspots, bus factor, bug clusters, and crisis patterns.
