We left the CodeRetreat with a better understanding of how to write clean, simple and flexible programs that minimize the cost of change over time. Big win for everyone.

The point of the exercise was to learn how to write better code, not produce a working product.

The Coderetreat provided us with a safe place to try out new things, learn and be creative.

(...) so many cool little exercises changing what we think it means to write good code.

Learn to delete code you write.

The code is gone, but the lessons learnt remain!

Mute pairing best iteration ever! (...) I mean it was f***ng amazing! Total revelation, loved it, gotta do it way more often!
