title: Refactoring is a rabbit hole

I enjoy refactoring code.
|
|
|
|
Once I've finished writing some code and all the tests are passing, I like reviewing what I've written and looking for ways to make it more readable or easier to maintain whilst making sure it still works.
|
|
|
|
I usually start with one small refactor.
|
|
|
|
Then I spot another.
|
|
|
|
And another.
|
|
|
|
I end up going down a refactoring rabbit hole and I keep seeing changes I could make.
|
|
|
|
But, at some point, you need to say enough refactoring and decide if the code is good enough to release, whether you do this yourself or as part of a pair or mob.
|

|
|
It can always be refactored more in the future, if needed.
