Ciao!

I hope I didn't just break your email client with the Polish subject.

I had a wonderful life.

What's your experience with legacy code?

Damn, if only those kettlebells were pink, the picture would be perfect for a PinkLetter.

Ahem...

Ciao!

I'll close the PinkLetter survey soon. Please consider dedicating it a couple of minutes. It helps me craft a better newsletter for you and keeps me motivated.

Ciao!

It's still me begging for help.

The survey about the PinkLetter is not yet closed. Remember, there are no required questions, you decide how much time to spend on it.

Ciao!

I know what you are thinking: "that's a cheesy stock picture." I couldn't agree more, but it's fun, isn't it?

Ciao!

Would you be willing to give me a hand?

I'm back droning about permanent knowledge. By the way, what do you think about the topic?

How was your week?

Have you ever had the luck of learning under the wing of great people?

Ciao!

Have you ever smoked a cigar?

Ciao!

What was your big win this week?

Ciao!

Have you ever played pool?

Ciao!

If you could choose anybody as your pair to work on a legacy codebase, who would that be? I would pick Bruce Lee, let me tell you why.

Ciao!

What are the stories behind your crafts? You know, this week I didn't manage to publish my usual post on Friday. I actually sat down, brainstormed and wrote for a few hours. But I could not manage to collect the ideas under a compelling umbrella. It missed a beginning, a direction and an end. Then I realized I broke one of my rules: always start from a story.

This week I bombed twice. But as they say, to get past being bad at something, you need to give yourself the permission to suck. The first thing I bombed was the joke in the introduction of the previous PinkLetter.
