Humans Present: Refactoring

In the latest Humans Present, I sit down with Joe Ferris, our CTO, and we refactor real code from Trajectory.

This hour and ten minute interview and screencast shows:

  • What is refactoring and what you need to do it
  • Pros and cons of different refactoring techniques
  • Removing duplication
  • Extracting code to classes and modules

The changes in this video were merged into master and deployed to production the week after filming.

You can purchase this video for $15 or buy it for your entire company for $50. Check it out now. Click through for a preview.

We hope you like it.

Humans Present: An OSS Lifestyle

I recently sat down with Mike Burns to discuss his operating system and computer setup. Mike uses an entirely Open Source stack.

We discussed how he got started with this, the current state of running Linux, as well as some of the unique benefits and cool features of doing so.

We decided to make this special video available for free, and you can watch it here.
