🙏 What others are saying
Refactoring is supported by 43,000+ subscribers and 1300+ paid members. Here is what they are saying about it:
🙋♂️ About me
About 10 years ago I dropped out of my PhD in CS, co-founded a VC-backed startup in Italy, and started guiding engineering teams when I couldn’t arguably guide myself.
I have overseen scaling from zero to 20+ million customers, enjoyed big wins, catastrophic failures, and everything in between.
I am a voracious reader, but I have always struggled to find high quality, reliable content that really spoke to my work. Something that would make me grow as an engineer, a manager, and a human being.
This newsletter is my attempt to write the content I have always wanted to read. How to build processes, meet deadlines, manage an engineering team, and grow personally in the process.
I would love to have you on board 🚢
Luca
