Easter Sunday.
The one day a year even developers are expected to be offline.
I lasted until 10am.

Your head knows the market.
Your gut knows the risk.
Your heart knows if it’s worth it.
All three have a vote. None of them has a veto.

Twice a year we change the clocks and have a national debate about whether it makes sense.
Twice a year we do it anyway.
The best legacy systems are the ones nobody has the courage to turn off.

The most underrated skill in software development?
Knowing when to stop adding features.
Every great product is also a graveyard of good ideas that didn’t make the cut.

[Gioacchino Poletto @gpoletto]

“Move fast and break things” aged poorly.
The companies that are still standing moved deliberately and fixed things.
Speed is a tactic. Intention is a strategy.

The best technical decision I ever made?
Saying “I don’t know” in front of the whole team.
Turns out, it’s also the best leadership decision.

[Gioacchino Poletto @gpoletto]

@PovilasKorop Yes, of course…

Gino Paoli is gone. 91 years old. A life that could have ended at 29, a bullet in his chest, decided to stay.
He stayed. And gave us “Il cielo in una stanza.”
Some people don’t just write songs. They write time.

@dev_maims Memory allocation and durability.
Then, overall, homebrew!

@D_Kunal_4u Among the many, the one that made me enjoy again: Go!

AI lowers the floor. It doesn’t raise the ceiling.
There’s never been a better time to be a mediocre developer.
And never a worse time to be only that. #ai #dev

Sunday mode: no meetings, no Slack, no deadlines.
Just me, the code, and a question I’ve been avoiding all week.
Sometimes the best debugging happens on a day off. #sunday #dayoff

@elonmusk, I have a project to map every disabled parking spot globally. Integrating this into Tesla’s FSD/Navigation would make 'Autonomous Mobility' truly accessible for everyone. It solves the 'last meter' problem for disabled drivers. Interested in the data/API?

[Gioacchino Poletto @gpoletto]

The “CTO” title means nothing if you can’t do a decent code review.
Technical leadership starts with the code, not the slides.
Words from someone who’s seen too many of both.

[Gioacchino Poletto @gpoletto]

Even today @supabase proved to be the perfect solution for quickly developing!
