Oops. Not you@jessitron re-factoring before change — helps to make it readable for yourself and might be more readable for newcomers.
Re-factoring after — helps to get review on change faster from those who are familiar with current codebase. And it also removes risk from change being blocked by re-factoring and/or need to fix/change re-factoring it is based on.
