    The Weekly Pomodoro 25.11 - 🇮🇹 Continuous Integration vs Delivery vs Deployment

    🚨 CI/CD ≠ Pipeline automatizzata E no… non sono solo nomi altisonanti per la stessa cosa. La maggior parte dei team sbaglia su questo punto. E questo porta a rilasci più lenti, build rotte e sviluppatori confusi. Ma una volta che ho capito davvero le differenze… Come si costruiscono l’una sull’altra… E come un concetto semplice—il Trunk-Based Development—sblocca tutto... 🚀 È stato lì che velocità e affidabilità di delivery sono esplose. Oggi, nel nuovo episodio del mio podcast Weekly Pomodoro, ne parlo nel dettaglio: → Cosa significano davvero CI/CD → E come implementarli in modo efficace Se anche tu hai mai annuito in riunione facendo finta di capire la differenza tra i tre... 👀 O vuoi finalmente sbloccare la tua pipeline di delivery... Devi assolutamente ascoltare l’episodio di oggi!

    Weekly Pomodoro 25.10 - 🇬🇧 LLMs or XP? What’s Really Boosting Developer Productivity

    🧠 It looks like LLMs are making devs 10x more productive. But something else might be... Over the past few months, I’ve been watching a pattern emerge. Devs rave about LLMs massively boosting their output. PMs boast about faster features. Founders post screenshots. VCs… well, they think they found the next gold mine. But when I zoomed in, something felt off. The devs getting the most value from AI agents aren’t doing anything “new.” They’re doing this instead: ✅ Writing tight, testable code ✅ Working in small, iterative steps  ✅ Focusing on feedback and flow ✅ Getting clarity before coding ✅ Refactoring relentlessly Sound familiar? It should. That’s the original Extreme Programming (XP) playbook. And it’s looking more relevant now than ever—just wrapped in AI. 🚀 So what’s really driving productivity here? → Is it the machine, or the mindset? → The assistant, or the agile habits? I

    Weekly Pomodoro 25.8 - 🇬🇧 Async vs sync work and communication

    Working remotely doesn’t mean you’re working asynchronously. Too often, these two ideas get bundled together. 👉 But remote ≠ async. One is a decision about space, the other about time.  In today’s episode of my podcast Weekly Pomodoro, I unpack the biggest misconceptions about async work — and why being "async-first" doesn’t mean banning real-time communication. 🚨 Going fully async may sound modern, but in practice it can slow you down, isolate your team, and break trust. ✅ Still, in the right contexts, async work is incredibly powerful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discover Learn Agile Practices: https://learnagilepractices.com/ Subscribe to the newsletter: https://learnagilepractices.com/subscribe Join the free Telegram channel: https://t.me/+2QAtoLNIgVU0NmU0 Need help in developing your career in Software?

    🗑️ Quanti sprechi ci sono nel tuo team di sviluppo... che nessuno vede? ➡️ Bug in produzione.  ➡️ Feature che nessuno usa. ➡️ Soluzioni troppo complesse. ➡️ Pull request che restano ferme per giorni. 👉 Tutto questo ha un nome: spreco nascosto.E logora silenziosamente la produttività, il morale e la qualità del tuo team e del suo lavoro. Nel nuovo episodio del mio podcast Weekly Pomodoro ti porto in un viaggio tra i principali sprechi nel software, ispirato ai principi lean e agile. Scoprirai: ✅ Quali sono le 4 fonti principali di spreco nel lavoro tecnico ✅ Perché alcune sembrano “normali” ma sono veleno per il team ✅ Come iniziare a eliminarle, una alla volta  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discover Learn Agile Practices: https://learnagilepractices.com/ Subscribe to the newsletter: https://learnagilepractices.com/subscribe Join the free Telegram channel: https://t.me/+2QAtoLNIgVU0NmU0 Need help in developing your career in Software?

    Weekly Pomodoro 25.6 - 🇬🇧 What to expect from a Junior, Mid and Senior Software Developer

    If you're hiring a developer, do you know what to expect based on the seniority you are looking for? 🤔 When I joined Muffin in October, I set a mission for 2025: building my first team from scratch. That made me reflect on how I define seniority: 💡 What do "Junior," "Mid," and "Senior" actually mean? 💡 What expectations should we have at each level? In short: 🔹 Junior → “get things done" + a fresh view 🔹 Mid → Fluent in multiple areas + approaching best practices 🔹 Senior → Keeps software under control over time + helping the team grow ___________________________________________________________________ Discover Learn Agile Practices: https://learnagilepractices.com/ Subscribe to the newsletter: https://learnagilepractices.com/subscribe Join the free Telegram channel: https://t.me/+2QAtoLNIgVU0NmU0 Need help in developing your career in Software?

    The Weekly Pomodoro 25.5 - 🇮🇹 Stime Intelligenti: dai numeri, non tirando a indovinare

    Il Problema delle Stime: Possiamo Fare Previsioni Senza Indovinare? 🎯 Fare previsioni nel software è complicato. Il futuro è incerto per definizione. Eppure, continuiamo a dare date fisse e ad affidarci a story point, velocity e metodi basati più su supposizioni che su dati reali. 💡 E se ci fosse un modo diverso? Un approccio basato sulla probabilità, che usa dati storici reali per produrre previsioni affidabili invece di speranze? Studiando l'argomento, in particolare il libro "When Will It Be Done?", ho scoperto il forecast probabilistico: un metodo che, come la meteorologia, non dice il giorno esatto in cui pioverà, ma fornisce un intervallo di probabilità che ci permette di prendere decisioni migliori. Libro "When will it be done?": https://amzn.eu/d/dwWrTQO ___________________________________________________________________ Discover Learn Agile Practices: https://learnagilepractices.com/ Subscribe to the newsletter: https://learnagilepractices.com/subscribe Join the free Telegram channel: https://t.me/+2QAtoLNIgVU0NmU0 Need help in developing your career in Software?

    The Weekly Pomodoro #25.4 - 🇮🇹 Riflessioni su Typescript a backend/full-stack

    TypeScript come linguaggio full-stack: ecco cosa ho imparato 🚀💡 Da qualche mese sto lavorando con TypeScript come linguaggio backend in modo continuativo. Prima d’ora, non avevo mai usato TypeScript come linguaggio backend/full-stack: era un linguaggio che avevo sempre usato lato frontend, se non in microservizi sporadici—e devo dire che l’esperienza finora è stata… interessante. 👉 TypeScript ovunque: vantaggi e sfide di un ecosistema unificato. 👉 Comodo, ma con qualche sorpresa. 👉 Tool di testing: alcuni limiti inaspettati. ___________________________________________________________________ Discover Learn Agile Practices: https://learnagilepractices.com/ Subscribe to the newsletter: https://learnagilepractices.com/subscribe Join the free Telegram channel: https://t.me/+2QAtoLNIgVU0NmU0 Need help in developing your career in Software?
