Alcor Academy

Eccoci arrivati al meetup di marzo in cui avremo il piacere di avere con noi Marco Consolaro . Durante la serata parleremo di diversi tipi di "Connascence" e come influenzano la qualità e l'evoluzione del software. Serata da non perdere?? https://lnkd.in/dcPnsrUm

?? The Future of Software Engineering Has Arrived – Are You Ready? ?? Big news from our friend Dave Farley! The legendary #ContinuousDelivery channel has evolved into #ModernSoftwareEngineering ?? (?? https://lnkd.in/emerty5D) This isn’t just a rebranding—it’s a bold statement that software engineering must move beyond AI automation hype and into sustainable, scalable, and human-centered socio-technical and engineering excellence. ?? Today's Reality Check Our CEO Michele Brissoni uncovered critical insights in the latest Episode 48 of The Forge of Unicorns (?? https://lnkd.in/dfSGvvH9), merging two years of GenAI code assistant data and industry-leading research: ?? AI-generated code isn’t engineered—it’s just produced. ?? 39.9% drop in refactored code—GenAI is accelerating tech debt. ?? 17.1% YoY increase in code duplication—creating brittle, unmaintainable systems. ?? 77% of devs disengaged, 38% burned out—AI-driven stress cycles are pushing teams to the brink. ?? Modern software engineering must embrace AI as a tool for enhancing human technical excellence—not as a blind replacement for engineers. This is why our behavioral-engineered #KBI framework + SW Craftsmanship Dojo? are game-changers: ? AI should enhance engineers, not replace them. ? AI should support technical mastery, not diminish it. ? Developers should become Modern Software Engineers, not AI prompt operators. ?? A Huge Thanks to Dave & The Fellowship of Special Guests! We extend our gratitude to Dave Farley for leading this transformation—perfectly aligned with our vision that software engineering must evolve beyond automation into modern technical and behavioral excellence. A special shoutout to our industry friends who will be regular guests on Dave’s channel, shaping the next era of modern software engineering: ??? Kevlin Henney ??? Trisha Gee ??? Steve Smith ??? Emily Bache ??? Kent Beck ?? The Next Step: A Paradigm Shift in Software Engineering Modern Software Engineering needs a new paradigm—one that transforms developers into engineers ready for working in unicorn environments. That’s why we’ve released our neuroscience-coaching-driven model as an open-source tool—helping organizations embed software excellence in a world where software is the core asset defining success or failure. ?? Dave, let’s make it happen! The world is ready—and we’d love to see our coaches Michele Brissoni, Marco Consolaro, and Alessandro Di Gioia join you in a future episode to showcase this revolutionary shift in upskilling developers. ?? What are your thoughts? Is your team truly engineering software or just producing code? #ModernSoftwareEngineering #AI #SoftwareEngineering #DevEx #TechDebt #TDD #ContinuousDelivery #DaveFarley #EngineeringLeadership

I've been finding the Alcor Academy program a massively valuable course for both experienced developers and newer developers alike. I think the topics they cover and their willingness to engage in healthy debate is really positive in fostering the development of strong skills surrounding TDD and Mob/Pair Programming (and future topics still to come as we progress through the modules)

?? The Podcast That #PE & #VC Investors Can’t Afford to Miss! ?? ?? EP 44 - Behind the Curtain: The Digital Evolution That Redefined Excellence ??? ?? Information Technology and Software should be your biggest competitive advantage—but for most companies, it’s a financial black hole. ?? This is the episode where we rip the Band-Aid off and expose the brutal truth with a real use case. A company was bleeding money, drowning in legacy tech debt, and stuck in quarterly release hell while competitors moved at lightning speed. Then, something changed. ?? We didn’t just “fix IT.” We engineered a transformation (evolution) that turned IT from a liability into a $5B strategic weapon. ?? What did we find? ? Legacy systems crushing innovation. ? Feature releases crawling while customers churned. ? Developers burned out, leadership flying blind. ?? What we did differently? ? Mapped the social dysfunctions with behavioral engineering. ? Cataloged deep-rooted anti-patterns through heatmaps. ? Opened a cross-organization talk using DDD, translating it into a Value Stream Map. ? Rewired the organization—people, processes, leadership, and systems. ?? The result? ?? Ultra-fast releases, high-velocity pipelines, and near-zero errors. ?? Dev teams became high-performing innovation machines. ?? IT stopped being a cost center—it became the biggest ROI driver in the business. A $5B goldmine! ?? PE & VC Investors—Pay Attention! DeepSeek just showed the world how IT, done right, is the ultimate market disruptor. ?? With a fraction of OpenAI’s budget ??? With a fraction of their hardware ?? They built an AI engine that outperformed the biggest name in the game. How? Not with money ??. Not with raw power ??. With high-standard IT practices, modern software craftsmanship, and elite software engineering. This wasn’t an accident—this was inevitable. And it will happen again. ?? The next DeepSeek AI moment is coming. Will your portfolio be the one disrupting? Or the one getting disrupted? ?? Listen now & discover why IT evolution is the ultimate growth multiplier. #DigitalEvolution #ITGoldmine #BehavioralEngineering #TechExcellence #HighPerformance #SoftwareCraftsmanship #PrivateEquity #VC #InvestmentStrategy #AI #DeepSeek #OpenAI

Since a few months I'm following a software development training from BriX Consulting to sharpen my developer skills. Really thankful for the lessons from Michele Brissoni, Alessandro Di Gioia and Marco Consolaro. As the training progresses, we are learning how we can test our code, how to organise programming projects and make small changes to your codebases. All by practicing with real code examples. Really looking forward to all the next lessons.
