I've received the v2 of my printed book, and the result looks MUCH better 😄
I've made a few more tweaks and am now waiting for Amazon's approval to publish!

If you are still on Zod 3 and plan to migrate to Zod 4, I've created a codemod to help you do so: www.npmjs.com/package/zod-...
Steps:
1. Upgrade your dependency to Zod 4
2. Run `npx zod-v3-to-v4`
That should cover most scenarios
Let me know if you have any trouble with it 👐

I received my first attempt at printing my e-book... It's ok-ish
I'll iterate on this prototype to fix all the little things I've noticed
Hopefully I should have a decent physical version soon 😄

Back in MTL after extended holidays with family
We notably went to the French Alps—I can recommend 💯, so many things to see/do/eat 😄
Time to resume work, meetups, and side-projects!
👨💻 currently wrapping up a zod-v3-to-v4 codemod to migrate my clients… it will be open-source

Then, I went to @alpescraft.bsky.social 🏔️
It's a French conference with a special focus on crafting quality software—the Software Crafters spirit
I gave a workshop on the art of refactoring (of course 😄), and a few more contributions during the open-space format of the second day

This year, I was lucky enough to present at 2 awesmoe conferences I wanted to attend 🤗
First, I went to @jsheroes.io. I gave a talk on automated refactorings, demoing what you could do with tools like Abracadabra in VS Code
The organization was stellar and I met wonderful people here 💜

Statically typed languages give you the opportunity to
1. Express yourself and your Domain
2. Prevent impossible states, right in the types
Here's an example in Haskell, but you can do something similar in F# and somewhat in TS

Instead of splitting your devs in silo, get them to work together on the whole stack
A front-end expert will get some knowledge of backend & storage mechanism
A backend dev will grow empathy for a11y concerns
It makes the overall team much better at all levels
