We embarked on an enriching journey with an Electron Project written in Typescript. There were lots of preparation for this project. Our preparation spanned a spectrum of essential areas: delving into the intricacies of the JavaScript Object Model, establishing effective inter-process communication, navigating through different programming paradigms and their identification, how to seamlessly integrate into a framework that now bends to our control. This was facilitated by lots of refactoring and thoughtful design.
Focus management skills came to the forefront, learning how to to sift through non-essential elements in a professional context and instead concentrate on one’s objectives, thereby fostering expertise. This voyage also deepened my comprehension of technical debt, a lesson that will undoubtedly endure. I’ll try to write more in time to come. Working with, being coached and mentored by and being led by Francesco throughout this journey has been nothing short of incredible!

Are you prepared to evolve your coding practices and dive deep into the world of Anti-IF programming?
Here's your chance to learn directly from its founder.
"Programming with Francesco" isn't just another mentoring program. It's a culmination of years of experience, insight, and passion. Join Francesco, delve into your projects, and experience a programming transformation that goes beyond code.
"Recently, I've mentored several teams and it always played out the same way: they diligently applied mainstream processes, tools, and practices - Agile, Jira, Continuous Delivery, you name it - yet deadlines kept slipping and 'never-ending user stories' became the norm. Even worse, the blame game was in full swing: the product team pointed fingers at the tech team, the tech team retaliated, and the management team blamed everyone.
It wasn't about the tools or processes they were using. It was the hidden monster - software complexity. Everyone overlooked the task of reducing the complexity of both the software system and the product's value system. As complexity spiraled, confusion and frustration set in among the product and software developers, leading to delusions: "Do we already have this feature?" the Product Developers would ask. "Our software is fine, change is our only problem," the developers would insist. All the while, the beast of complexity grew as they were mired in their Jira to-do lists, pointless remote meetings, and 'clean' silos driven code duplications.
They were so embroiled in the day-to-day grind that they lost sight of the big picture: dealing with change and fostering growth of their software and product value structure by curbing its complexity.
This was the spark for my programme. The goal for your team shouldn't be just to latch onto every new process, practice, or tool. It should be about continually reducing the complexity of your software system. And to achieve that, your team needs a self-tailored blend of process, tools, and practices that work for them, not just by the book. By doing this, you can adapt to changes and let your software grow sustainably, without fear, stress, waste, or delusions. And that is the beating heart behind my programme."
