A note from your host
The world went remote, and so did every conversation on the show. This was our biggest class: 45 guests, almost one a week.
Looking back, a theme kept coming up. Good code can be deleted, dependencies cost more than they seem, and refactoring belongs in your daily work. I even handed the mic over to Kayla Reopelle and answered the questions myself.
