I Have Some Time

Good news, everyone! I have some time until the end of the year to help with your software development woes. The kind of woes that still exist in this era of coding agents and other AI tools:

  • Software development best practices (CI/CD, PR reviews, automated tests, test coverage, branching strategy, etc.)
  • Architecture and design
  • That legacy app no one wants to touch, even with a coding agent
  • Feeling stuck, or needing an extra pair of hands for a while

Tell me your woe via direct message, a comment, or email at chris@saturdaymp.com. Or just reach out with a question or to say hi.

SaturdayMP Show 88: Getting Started with Consulting

Have a question you want answered in a future video? A challenging or interesting problem you want to see solved? Constructive feedback? Then comment, DM me, or send an email to ask@saturdaymp.com.
