About Refactoring 🌀
Hey, I am Luca 👋 nice to meet you!
Every Thursday I write ~2000 words on making great software, working with people, and personal growth.
Refactoring articles are read every week by more than 20,000 friends, including managers and engineers at successful startups, and big companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon.
If you are a tech leader who wants to create a motivated, high-performing team, a founder who wants to scale their company, or an engineer who wants to level up and learn the best way to work together, this is the place for you.
Here is some writing from the past you can check out:
Free subscribers get an email like this about once a month, with a new original article about some engineering topic.
If you’d like the full Refactoring experience, consider subscribing to the full version, for $120/year or $12/month 👇
✨ Paid subscribers receive
✍️ A new essay every week (vs every month).
💬 An invite to a private community of tech leaders, founders and engineers, where we dive deeper into topics and hold special events.
📚 Access to a curated library of essays and recommended engineering resources (250+).
🎁 Access to exclusive discounts worth $50K+ on selected engineering tools.
I truly believe this is the best value for money you can find on the internet for your tech career.
Many subscribers expense Refactoring to their team’s learning budget.
My pitch to you (or your manager) is that if this newsletter helps you make just one better decision each year, or you end up using just one of the discounted tools, it’ll literally pay for itself. And if it doesn’t, you can cancel anytime.
You can also buy a group subscription for your whole team, at a substantial discount, and receive a single invoice for it.
Finally, if you are a student or live in a country with a low purchasing power, you can get a full subscription at up to 50% discount. Just reach out to me and tell me more about you 👇
The subscription also comes with a 30-days money-back guarantee. If you are unhappy with Refactoring you can cancel and get 100% refunded — no strings attached.

🙋♂️ About me
About 10 years ago I dropped out of my PhD in CS, co-founded a venture-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 🚢
