The pipdeck has spoken!

Most devs, when they say "I refactored my code" just mean "I rewrote my code".

Join me for quite probably my final Refactoring workshop on Sat June 20th and become one of the 1% who know what the word actually means in practice.

Register โ€“ Essential Code Craft - Refactoring โ€“ Zoom

Essential Code Craft - Refactoring โ€“ Zoom, Multiple dates and times - Our new Essential Code Craft training workshops are aimed at software developers who are self-funding their professional growth. If your employer won't invest in you, perhaps you can invest in you. Details of corporate training for companies and other organisations can be found at 

Update: the last 2 days have been *amazing*, and the support folks have shown me is genuinely moving. I had another little cry.

But (oh, here he goes), there are still some places left on the upcoming workshops, and even without the discount that ended last night, they're worth every penny!

Happy #caturday from Luna.

But it's not quite over yet. I have 3 *final* workshops for developers (and, in one case, non-devs, too) coming up - all on special offer 2day

AI adoption follows the same curve as a kid learning recorder.

First: screech.
Then: more screeching.
Eventually: music.

You don't get there by blowing harder. You get there by setting the right foundations.
