A tale about refactoring code and a young boy that learned his lesson the hard way...

Big story 🧵 THREAD 🧵

#100DaysOfCode #Refactor #Lessons
Once there was a joyful jr developer full of dreams and excitement about his first deploy to production.
It was Friday in the afternoon just as he was about to close his last task of the week.
He moved the story to done and when he was about to close the IDE he saw a hidden class inside a folder from some old legacy code with the legend:
// DO NOT TOUCH. This works and it´s necessary.

question

refactoring = redesigning code without changing its behavior so that it's clearer and more easily maintained

if your code "works", and you get paid for it working, even tho it's difficult to change and understand, then what incentive do you have, to refactor?
i #refactor cus i want:

1) to make my life easier when i need to enhance or fix the code i wrote last fall

2) to share the feeling that i get when i inherit code that's a pleasure to work in cus it's easily understood, and easy to change

why do (or don't) you refactor?
