Carlos' profound expertise is taught with fun and warmth. The training was a milestone in my understanding of what quality software means.

The training was definitely a milestone in my career. Prior to it, I didn't want to write any tests. I used to consider testing a waste of time. Throughout the training, I discovered how much testing matters to reduce bugs and to write maintainable code, easy to refactor without fear... Moreover, writing tests has become one of the most fun tasks in my daily routine as a developer. Thank you!
This is a training for software developers. Actually, anyone who knows to code will benefit a great deal from this workshop.
Some attendees will buy the training themselves, whilst others will be sent by their employers - their company will cover the expenses. In any case, attendees will be eager to learn, to share and to have fun.
This is to learn how to write maintainable code, simple code backed up by solid suites of automated tests. It’s also a training to learn how to work as a team, and how to bring the principles and practices to your organization.
Together will explore why the code gets messier and messier over time and how to avoid it. There will lessons on how to work effectively with legacy code.
Throughout the two days, you will learn about crucial real skills, such us communication, collaboration and leadership.
The goal is to provide you with tools for the real world
This is a fun, energizing, motivational, hands-on workshop, in-person. Open to the public workshops are very special, they tend to gather enthusiastic professionals from different companies. It’s a great opportunity to do actual networking with other people who care about writing code that lasts, it’s easy to read, to understand and to change.
Small blocks of theory are followed by practical exercises performed in pairs or mob. It’s an unforgettable experience, full or learning. You’ll learn a lot from the instructors, but also from other participants, about the tooling and the techniques.
Two full-days of deliberate practice including coffee breaks and lunch together. An immersive experience for those who will level up as software professionals.
This is the first time Lean Mind delivers a workshop in the US, it’s a unique opportunity. Honestly, we don’t know whether there will ever be other editions.
The contents of the workshop are based on the book, Código Sostenible, by Carlos Blé - one of the instructors:
Isn’t this too much? The goal is not to become an expert in all the items above, but to discover them and to integrate principles and values into your daily practice. This is the beginning of a more impactful career path.

My training with Carlos Blé and his team was a before and after in my career. Before that, my knowledge of clean code was nil and, although I knew it was important, I didn't know where to start. I knew it was important, but I didn't know how to go about it. Thanks to what Carlos Blé's team taught me, I was able to apply best practices in development and I saw how they have been facilitating my day to day work. I'm not going to lie to you, on many occasions, my head exploded, because sometimes I was dealing with very abstract concepts that, without having a clear theory, are difficult to understand, but if you accompany this training with some study on your part, it will help you a lot and you will see that companies will also value you better. because, whether we like it or not, good practices are often absent.

Attending to a training with one of the top most experts in TDD in the country, is mind blowing. The training was a milestone for your team. The fact that it was well adapted to our needs, daily tasks and stack, was very appreciated. This is a special training to discover essential principles and mindset, Carlos achieved all of that and more.

These courses are a great help to improve as a programmer. They are really recommended.
But wait a second 🖐 we've got a conflict here. Newsletters are often 💩👎👹 to us. That's why we've created the LEAN LIST, the first zen, enjoyable, rocker, and reggaetoner list of the IT industry. We've all subscribed to newsletters beyond our limits 😅 so we are serious about this.
