    🇮🇹 Che tipo di ingegnere voglio essere?
    Un anno fa ChatGPT era solo un taccuino per me — un posto dove ragionare ad alta voce, fare brainstorming, tenere un diario. Poi gli strumenti sono migliorati, l'hype è cresciuto, e ho sentito la spinta verso scorciatoie che non erano professionali. La domanda sbagliata era "dovrei usarlo o no?" Quella giusta ha cambiato tutto: che tipo di ingegnere voglio essere con questi strumenti? Questo episodio parla di quel cambio di prospettiva — e del perché la risposta non è un nuovo set di valori, ma amplificare le pratiche che già funzionano. Il "come" arriva nel prossimo episodio.

    🇬🇧 What Kind of Engineer Do I Want to Be?
    A year ago, ChatGPT was just a notebook for me — a place to think out loud, brainstorm, journal. Then the tools got better, the hype got louder, and I felt the pull toward shortcuts that weren't professional. The wrong question was "should I use this?" The right one changed everything: what kind of engineer do I want to be with these tools? This episode is about that shift — and why the answer isn't a new set of values, but amplifying the practices that already work. The "how" comes next.

  • Iterative Incremental - Restarting on purpose

    Iterative Incremental - Restarting on purpose
    Aug 27 2026
    Episode

    Iterative Incremental opens with a restart, not a comeback. After closing the Practical Handbook for Product Developers, I'm changing the object of study — not the practices. Same XP, Agile, Lean and DevOps foundations you know; new lens, focused on coding agents and what holds up under evidence rather than hype. No fixed runtime anymore: this episode takes exactly the space the thinking needs, which is the whole point of the new format.

    The Weekly Pomodoro 25.13 - 🇮🇹 L'impatto dell'AI su come studiamo e come impariamo
    Oct 23 2025
    🎙️ “L’AI non solo scrive, ma pensa (al posto tuo?)”
    Ogni settimana siamo sommersi da più contenuti di quanti ne possiamo leggere. E ora l’AI non si limita più a generarli — li sceglie, riassume e spiega per noi.
    In questo episodio esploriamo come l’intelligenza artificiale stia trasformando il modo in cui impariamo: dal passaggio da blog e corsi a feed generati dall’AI, fino ai nuovi modi di studiare, dialogare e insegnare con gli LLM.
    Scopriremo:
    • come il micro-learning e il “learning by chat” stanno cambiando la nostra attenzione e la profondità di comprensione;
    • dove si nasconde il trade-off tra velocità e riflessione;
    • perché ogni lettore oggi è anche autore — ma non sempre un buon insegnante;
    • e un mini-caso reale: un developer che impara solo tramite chat AI… cosa guadagna e cosa perde.
    Chiudiamo con una sfida: 📈 per 48 ore, traccia come impari — con e senza AI — e scopri dove nasce davvero la comprensione.
    🎧 25 minuti di pratica, curiosità e consapevolezza su come l’AI sta riscrivendo l’apprendimento.

    🎙️ The Weekly Pomodoro 25.12 – 🇮🇹 L’AI nella programmazione risolve davvero il problema giusto?
    Oct 16 2025
    L’AI scrive codice più veloce, ma… era davvero questo il problema? In questo episodio analizziamo i veri colli di bottiglia nello sviluppo software: comunicazione, delivery, debito tecnico e decisioni lente. Capiremo dove l’AI può davvero accelerare (testing, review, refactoring) e dove invece rischia di peggiorare la qualità. Chiudiamo con una sfida pratica: in 48 ore, mappa il collo di bottiglia più grande del tuo team — e portalo in retro o stand-up.

    The Weekly Pomodoro 25.11 - 🇮🇹 Continuous Integration vs Delivery vs Deployment
    Jun 26 2025
    🚨 CI/CD ≠ Pipeline automatizzata
    E no… non sono solo nomi altisonanti per la stessa cosa. La maggior parte dei team sbaglia su questo punto.
    E questo porta a rilasci più lenti, build rotte e sviluppatori confusi. Ma una volta che ho capito davvero le differenze…
    Come si costruiscono l’una sull’altra…
    E come un concetto semplice—il Trunk-Based Development—sblocca tutto... 🚀 È stato lì che velocità e affidabilità di delivery sono esplose. Oggi, nel nuovo episodio del mio podcast Weekly Pomodoro, ne parlo nel dettaglio:
    → Cosa significano davvero CI/CD
    → E come implementarli in modo efficace Se anche tu hai mai annuito in riunione facendo finta di capire la differenza tra i tre... 👀
    O vuoi finalmente sbloccare la tua pipeline di delivery... Devi assolutamente ascoltare l’episodio di oggi!

  • Weekly Pomodoro 25.10 - 🇬🇧 LLMs or XP? What’s Really Boosting Developer Productivity

    Weekly Pomodoro 25.10 - 🇬🇧 LLMs or XP? What’s Really Boosting Developer Productivity
    Jun 12 2025
    🧠 It looks like LLMs are making devs 10x more productive.

    But something else might be... Over the past few months, I’ve been watching a pattern emerge.
    Devs rave about LLMs massively boosting their output. PMs boast about faster features. Founders post screenshots. VCs… well, they think they found the next gold mine. But when I zoomed in, something felt off.

    The devs getting the most value from AI agents aren’t doing anything “new.” They’re doing this instead:
    ✅ Writing tight, testable code
    ✅ Working in small, iterative steps
    ✅ Focusing on feedback and flow
    ✅ Getting clarity before coding
    ✅ Refactoring relentlessly

    Sound familiar? It should. That’s the original Extreme Programming (XP) playbook. And it’s looking more relevant now than ever—just wrapped in AI.

    🚀 So what’s really driving productivity here?
    → Is it the machine, or the mindset?
    → The assistant, or the agile habits? I

    The Weekly Pomodoro 25.9 - 🇮🇹 Esperimenti con Cursor
    May 29 2025
    🚀 Are AI-assisted IDEs the future of development? 🤔

    In today's world, tools like Cursor are pushing the boundaries of what AI can do for developers. But... are they truly the game changers we’ve been waiting for?
    💡 After experimenting with Cursor in my daily development workflow, I’ve found some amazing advantages, but also some challenges.

    Here’s a sneak peek into my findings.

  • Weekly Pomodoro 25.8 - 🇬🇧 Async vs sync work and communication

    Weekly Pomodoro 25.8 - 🇬🇧 Async vs sync work and communication
    May 15 2025
    Working remotely doesn’t mean you’re working asynchronously. Too often, these two ideas get bundled together.

    👉 But remote ≠ async.
    One is a decision about space, the other about time.

    In today’s episode of my podcast Weekly Pomodoro, I unpack the biggest misconceptions about async work — and why being "async-first" doesn’t mean banning real-time communication.
    🚨 Going fully async may sound modern, but in practice it can slow you down, isolate your team, and break trust.
    ✅ Still, in the right contexts, async work is incredibly powerful.
