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.

If you subscribe, here is what you can expect:


1) 💡 Monday Ideas

Every Monday I send a short email with 3 actionable ideas to get better at your job. These emails are free for all subscribers, and will always stay so.

Here is a recent example from the past.


2) 🧵 Wednesday Essays

Every Wednesday I send an original, in-depth article about some engineering topic, backed by my experience, tons of research, and ideas from other great tech leaders.

These emails are exclusive to 🔒 paid subscribers 🔒 and include the long-form articles that made Refactoring famous.

To give you a sneak peek, here are some popular articles from the past:


And if you are ready for more:

🔒 Access all articles + the community

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 community platform 👇

In the community you will find plenty of activities, good conversations, and the full library of articles we have published so far, browsable by topic and searchable with AI!

On the community, you can browse all the newsletter content and filter it by topic

We truly believe Refactoring to be the best engineering community in the world, and we do plenty of things together, 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!
