XPUGBg March Meetup: “The Actor Model (and why an XP programmer should know it)“

Hi 👋 welcome!

This post is a short summary (with personal notes and opinions here and there) of the XPUGBg (Bergamo’s eXtreme Programming User Group) meetup I attended in March.

Actually, it’s just a bunch of notes and ideas connected together by my imagination and opinions 😂 (as I already did here and here).

This month’s talk was titled “The Actor Model and why an XP programmer should know it” by Emanuele DelBono.

Book Summary: Atomic Habits

Hi 👋  and welcome to a new post!

Today I’m publishing the (raw) notes I took while reading “Atomic Habits: An Easy and proven way to build good habits and break bad ones”, by James Clear.

Even though I read this book two years ago, I stumbled across this notes and they were helpful in remembering its main ideas and concepts. I know there are many summaries and reviews of this book. Still, I’ll keep this notes on the blog as a personal learning reference.

My Experience at FOSDEM 2023

Hi 👋 welcome to a new post.

Today I just want to share some comments about my trip to FOSDEM 2023. This blog is starting to look like a travel blog for meetups and conferences 😅… I promise I’ll post some programming (practical and not) content soon.

As I already said in my 2022 review, one of my goals for 2023 is to attend more conferences and participate more in communities. I must say, I started the year in the right way 🤩.

XPUGBg January meetup: “eXtreme Collaborative Codebase”

Hi 👋 welcome to a new post!

Today I’m going to post a little summary of my experience at the XPUGBg meetup I attended at the end of January. This time, the talk was “eXtreme Collaborative Codebase” by Alessio Coser.

What is a collaborative codebase?

Alessio started his talk with a question: what does it mean to collaborate in a codebase for you? What does it take to do it? What are the practices we can use to “work well”?

A Case for Outside-In Design: Sandro Mancuso @ Tech Talks by eDreams ODIGEO

Hi 👋 and welcome to a new post!

In my 2022 review, I said that one of my goals for 2023 was to participate more in communities (meetups, conferences and so on). Well, as a first step to achieving that goal, I attended a meetup hosted by eDreams ODIGEO (here) on January 24th.

For the inauguration of their Milan Hub, eDreams hosted Sandro Mancuso for his talk “A Case for Outside-In Design”, in which he proposes a set of practices and techniques to make business and technology meet when designing and extending a system.

My Experience at the Italian Agile Days 2022: Talks and Reflections

Hi 👋

Today’s post is about my experience at the Italian Agile Days 2022, which I attended in October 2022. I know, it’s way too late to write this, but I still think that remembering the talks I watched will be useful for others 😃.

The Italian Agile Days is a 2-day free conference held in a different city every year, in which people interested in agile practices (programmers and business people alike) gather to talk about agile and development practices.
