Nicolas Fränkel 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇬🇪Back in an engineering position, I come across newly written #Java code that has a lot of improvement potential regarding maintainability. It works, but I imagine engineers having to update it, including the original author’s future self and me, and I’m sure I can help them. This week, I refactored code using creational #DesignPatterns. In this post, I want to describe the issues I faced and mention how patterns helped me.
