🚨 Continuous Refactoring: Don't Wait for Problems

🔧 Refactoring code shouldn't be a reaction to problems, it should be an integral part of your daily development routine. Instead of waiting for issues to pile up or trying to refactor your entire application at once, focus on making small, incremental improvements regularly.

🛠️ Quand changer une housse de couette devient un exercice de debugging mental !

🔄 Hier, je changeais ma housse de couette seul, une tâche apparemment simple, mais qui s'est rapidement transformée en leçon de dév !

🔄 Refactoring can be tricky. Without the right approach, you can end up with a lot of changes that you can't merge.

🎙️ @matthiasnoback shares his insights about how he refactors his code in this article https://matthiasnoback.nl/2021/02/refactoring-the-mikado-method/. Top-down development can help; you define the feature at a high level, then you implement the feature step by step. It prevents working on some block of code that you won't need.
