Hey, Luca here 👋 nice to meet you!
Refactoring is like a personal coach that helps you write great software and work well with humans — only for real cheap! It is read every week by 150,000+ engineers and managers.

💡 Monday Ideas — every Monday I send you a short email with 3 actionable ideas to get better at your job. These emails are free and will always stay so. Here is a recent example from the past.
🧵 Wednesday Essays — every Wednesday I send paid subscribers an original, in-depth article about some engineering topic, backed by my experience, tons of research, and ideas from other great tech leaders.
🎙️ Friday Podcast — every two weeks we publish an interview with a world-class engineering leader. Guests from the past include folks of the caliber of DHH, Kent Beck, Guillermo Rauch, and Martin Fowler.
And if you are ready for more 👇
🔒 Get the full Refactoring experience
My personal goal is to make Refactoring the best investment you ever made in your engineering career.
More than 1700 engineers and managers have subscribed to the full Refactoring version — which includes an original long-form essay every week, plus access to our custom library and community platform.
1) 🧵 Weekly Essays
As a paid subscriber, you get all the weekly long-form essays that made Refactoring famous.
To give you a sneak peek, here are some popular articles from the past:
How to Use Engineering Metrics — bonus article, free for all! ✨
2) 🏛️ Custom Library
I have been running Refactoring for more than four years, during which I have written more than 300 articles.
In our private Library you can find everything I have ever published: articles, book reviews, and podcast interviews, easily browsable and filterable by topic 👇
You can also search for anything, or, if you prefer, ask our brand new Refactoring AI! The agent will reply with an answer that 1) is complete and workable by itself, and 2) contains references from articles and threads it draws from 👇
2) 💬 Expert Community
The library lives inside our community platform, which is available as a standalone web and mobile app.
This is the heart of Refactoring, where we get together and do plenty of things, like:
➡️ Coming up — I anticipate newsletter articles I want to write, people join in with their own experiences and insights, and authors are quoted in the newsletter.
🧠 Mastermind — monthly sessions facilitated by Joel and Melinda, two professional coaches, where you meet other members and work through specific challenges.
📗 Book Club — every two months we read some famous non-fiction book and we review it together in a live event.
🥁 Show & Tell — people share what they are building, writing, or anything they are up to, to receive feedback and encouragement.
💼 Jobs — people post their openings and get vetted candidates from there. Many people have been hired this way already.
Communities like this usually cost thousands of dollars a year. If in a year you only join one mastermind session, chances are the subscription has already repaid itself!
Money-back guarantee 🎁
