The Weekly Pomodoro 25.13 - 🇮🇹 L'impatto dell'AI su come studiamo e come impariamo 23.10.2025

🎙️ “L’AI non solo scrive, ma pensa (al posto tuo?)” Ogni settimana siamo sommersi da più contenuti di quanti ne possiamo leggere. E ora l’AI non si limita più a generarli — li sceglie, riassume e spiega per noi . In questo episodio esploriamo come l’intelligenza artificiale stia trasformando il modo in cui impariamo : dal passaggio da blog e corsi a feed generati dall’AI, fino ai nuovi modi di stu...

🎙️ The Weekly Pomodoro 25.12 – 🇮🇹 L’AI nella programmazione risolve davvero il problema giusto? 16.10.2025

L’AI scrive codice più veloce, ma… era davvero questo il problema? In questo episodio analizziamo i veri colli di bottiglia nello sviluppo software: comunicazione, delivery, debito tecnico e decisioni lente. Capiremo dove l’AI può davvero accelerare (testing, review, refactoring) e dove invece rischia di peggiorare la qualità. Chiudiamo con una sfida pratica: in 48 ore, mappa il collo di bottiglia...

The Weekly Pomodoro 25.11 - 🇮🇹 Continuous Integration vs Delivery vs Deployment 26.06.2025

🚨 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 velocit...

Weekly Pomodoro 25.10 - 🇬🇧 LLMs or XP? What’s Really Boosting Developer Productivity 12.06.2025

🧠 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 A...

The Weekly Pomodoro 25.9 - 🇮🇹 Esperimenti con Cursor 29.05.2025

🚀 Are AI-assisted IDEs the future of development? 🤔 In today's world, tools like Cursor are pushing the boundaries of what AI can do for developers. But... are they truly the game changers we’ve been waiting for? 💡 After experimenting with Cursor in my daily development workflow, I’ve found some amazing advantages, but also some challenges. Here’s a sneak peek into my findings. ----------------...

Weekly Pomodoro 25.8 - 🇬🇧 Async vs sync work and communication 15.05.2025

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 mod...

The Weekly Pomodoro 25.7 - 🇮🇹 Gli sprechi nello sviluppo software 18.04.2025

🗑️ 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...

Weekly Pomodoro 25.6 - 🇬🇧 What to expect from a Junior, Mid and Senior Software Developer 13.03.2025

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 f...

The Weekly Pomodoro 25.5 - 🇮🇹 Stime Intelligenti: dai numeri, non tirando a indovinare 06.03.2025

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 prev...

The Weekly Pomodoro #25.4 - 🇮🇹 Riflessioni su Typescript a backend/full-stack 27.02.2025

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 o...

The Weekly Pomodoro #25.3 - 🇬🇧 Monorepo pros and cons 20.02.2025

🚀 Monorepo: Love it or Hate it? For the past 4 months, I’ve been working in a monorepo. It was my first time, and let’s just say… I have thoughts. 😏 ✅ Some things felt like magic—simpler dependency management, better code sharing, and a stronger sense of team ownership. ❌ Other things? Not so much—longer build times, tooling challenges, and more. Was it a game-changer? Or just different? I’ll...

The Weekly Pomodoro #25.2 - 🇮🇹 Trunk-Based Development, CI e rilasciare Work in Progress 13.02.2025

Non devi per forza rilasciare solo quando tutta la feature è completa! 😱 So che sembra folle 😉 Tutti noi, da quando abbiamo iniziato a scrivere codice, abbiamo imparato che un rilascio avviene solo quando una feature è completa e pronta per l’utente. Ma ecco il segreto: NON È VERO. 🤯 💡 Immagina di poter mettere in produzione il tuo codice anche se la feature non è finita. 💡 Immagina di separa...

The Weekly Pomodoro #25.1 - 🇮🇹 Cosa significa diventare Tech Lead? 06.02.2025

🚀 Da Developer a Tech Lead: Il Passaggio Che Nessuno Ti Insegna Scrivere codice è una cosa. Guidare un team è tutt’altra sfida. Quando passi da sviluppatore a Tech Lead, non si tratta solo di sviluppare software, ma di aiutare il tuo team a farlo al meglio. Significa: 🔹 Supportare le decisioni tecniche senza essere un collo di bottiglia 🔹 Fare coaching al team, alzando l’asticella ogni giorno...
