👨💻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!
Are you interested in a 2-hour low cost workshop for @arlobelshee applying continuous improvement that sticks for you or your team? Let us know!

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
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
