The Best of Refactoring 🌟
Celebrating the 100th edition with a list of my all-time most popular articles!
Hey everyone! Today marks a special day, because this is the 100th Refactoring article! 🌟
I published the first newsletter on the 20th September 2020. Fast forward to today, Refactoring counts more than 17,000 subscribers from all over the world, out of which almost 600 are members of the full, paid version.
I am extremely grateful for being able to do this full-time for a living, and I will never take it for granted 🙏
The mission of Refactoring is to help people become better tech leaders, and help them create motivated, high-performing engineering teams.

My weekly commitment is to put together the very best research and writing I am capable of, and to make every next article the best one I have ever written.
When I started, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep the pace and find new ideas to publish every week. This is not a concern anymore.
Not at all.
Writing is like a muscle — the more you write, the more you will find inspiration and ideas from everything around you. You get more sensitive.
But since 100 articles are a lot already, a bigger concern now is that new subscribers haven’t an easy way to go through my full body of work and find what’s most valuable to them.
Yes, paid subscribers have access to the Library to do this. The Library is extensive and also includes external resources — but I feel the need for something simpler that acts both as a welcome guide and a greatest hits of the newsletter, and is available to everybody.
So, below I’ve collected my best posts, from day one until today, sorted by popularity and my own personal preference, across four main topics:
🎽 Engineering Management
🔨 Technical Strategy
🎒 Hiring & Onboarding
🏃♂️ Personal Growth
Going forward, I’ll make this post a living document to track all the best stuff I put out across any channel, so bookmark it for future reference. And enjoy!
Let’s go! 👇
