👨‍💻Unexperienced developer: I need advice from the seniors. 👨‍💻👨‍💻Experienced developer: I don't need advice. 👨‍💻👨‍💻👨‍💻Really experienced: Let's see what the new guy in the team thinks about that topic. Maybe it can shift my perspective. Maybe we both can learn.

Yay! We have re-deployed digdeeproots.com. It is now 100% under our power, so live site issues are now 100% our fault 😅 Optimisations still to come, but content is back! Disclaimer: cookbook coming soon - still working to get from original admin.

Our website has been the victim of WordPress updates not playing nice with our customizations. We are now moving it to a static site under our control. Content and URL access will be back as soon as @arlobelshee can find the remaining hours to finish it!

Yaaas! Our brains are meant to work together and learn in small bits. #Mobbing for the win!
Solo coding: I get stuck, I do a few minutes of web searching until I learn just enough about the thing I'm stuck on to keep working Mobbing: we get stuck, someone in the group who did deep research on the topic spends a few minutes educating everyone, then we keep working.

Our legacy project from 2 years has gained a lot of new features, including Continuous Candy Collection🎃🤣

I'm afraid there is no article (I should write one), just this picture. Also: - start from a fresh pull of main - make branch - commit, commit, commit - git merge --no-ff Go fast stay green the whole time. Avoid merge conflicts by checking in first.

Replying to @m4gw4s @afilina
There are some great resources on incremental improvements to legacy systems. Are you familiar with the work of @arlobelshee and his project @digdeeproots? Also @LlewellynFalco does live coding of legacy coding refactoring on twitch. The legacycode.rocks is really helpful.

I tried skipping TDD this week. It went faster But then I worried my stuff didn't work, so I wrote some unit tests. I found & fixed several silly bugs Then I needed to change stuff, but the classes were big & tangled. So I refactored I'm almost finished fixing my "faster" work

Great strategy for teasing apart business logic and an annoying dependency. Always enjoy Nicolas' blogs and tweets about refactoring!
