Ah shit, here we go again. Another year passed, and another Hacktoberfest is over. I’ve just received my swag, and I can’t be more excited!

I’ve finally found the time to customise my Github’s profile. It shows some interesting stats about my activities, without any external browser extension, how?

Today I’ve talked with ItalianCoders about my experience abroad as a Software Developer. With me other five developers who are working around the world, talking about their experiences and why/how they decided to move abroad.

I always liked the your codebase is like a garden metaphor, it says that writing software is like gardening, you have to take care of your garden in many ways and from time to time you have to move plants around relative to each other, consider how to take advantage of the wind, rain and sunlight to help your plants grow and stay healthy. Every day you have to monitor them and make adjustments as needed. Like your code. But how can we do it in practice and become good gardeners?

During our journey as developers, we often have to use external APIs, integrate our systems with them and be sure that everything works smoothly, sometimes it becomes difficult because suddenly the systems we are interacting with change their behaviour, breaking our integration.
How to prevent it?

Migrating a database is one of the most sensitive things that can happen to do at some point in our career, sometimes it is easy, sometimes it is not. Let’s see how to use the expand/contract pattern to be able to do it in both cases ~

My usual post of the year about the Hacktoberfest is back! Even this year I participated in it and gained some swags and an amazing t-shirt ~

Another week is over, here in ThoughtWorks Barcelona but this time it was different from the others, it was full of new ideas and teams, at the end of it that was even a prize, a winner and a celebration. Are you wondering what’s going on, right?

What’s an incident? What to do in case of an incident? How to be a great incident commander? Are you a good incident responder? This is what I discover during my Incident Management workshop in @ThoughtWorks this week, let’s take a look!

Finally,, I found time to write this post, I want to say it to the world: I moved abroad.

Last year, as the previous one I partecipated to the Hacktoberfest and of course I received a lot of swag, do you want it too? ~

For years cryptography was considered like a witchcraft, until now! Let’s see how Keybase made it.

The 1.8 version of Go bring with it the ability to writing modular software using plugins, how?

A few weeks ago I changed my mobile phone provider in favour of a new company called Iliad so I created a new terminal tool to check the stats from the terminal.

I release a simple golang package named IsGoogle useful to check if a certain ip address belongs to Google.
