MY DAY TO DAY WORK :

CLEVER CLOUD, MAKE YOUR

APP RUN ALL THE TIME

And learn a lot of things about your code, apps, and good/bad design…

KEEP YOUR APPS ONLINE. MADE WITH

NODE.JS, SCALA, JAVA, RUBY, PHP,

PYTHON, GO OR DOCKER…

AND LEARN A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT

YOUR CODE, APPS, AND GOOD/BAD

DESIGN…

And why we do it ?
