"Modularization is not a fun thing to do. It's extremely tedious, it takes a lot of work, it's manual, you can't really automate it at all, and in general it's not fun. You don't want to do it." －Former Platform & Infra Engineer @ Spotify Let's see what we can do about that 😉

There's a github repository managed by @emilybache with code samples in several languages for the opening chapter of my Refactoring book. She's posted a video to her YouTube channel where she introduces this Theatrical Players kata. youtube.com/watch?v=TjIrKE…

A software architecture with low cohesion doesn’t lend itself well to partitioning work across multiple teams.

Effective software development requires that we keep code and people in balance so that one supports the other. When we fail, we end up with code that's both fragile and hard to understand.

Have you tried the Gilded Rose Refactoring Kata? It's a fun little exercise. I have just launched my YouTube channel 😱 the first video is about this kata. I hope people like the video as well as the exercise! youtu.be/Mt4XpGxigT4 #SoftwareDevelopment

A lack of diagrams is one of the reasons that so many teams struggle with creating a technical vision/roadmap, communication, architectural refactoring, onboarding new staff, etc.

Observation: The length of a test’s setup method is inversely related to the readability of the code under test.

Module dependency diagrams can reveal a lot about the domain and architecture of multi-module projects. This blog post prepares you with the basics for discussing diagrams of real-world projects in the upcoming articles. legacycode.com/stable-depende…

There are several reports on the financial cost of technical debt. But there's more to it: adding to the waste, unhealthy code also comes with a significant on-boarding cost for us developers. Check out our latest research paper for the details: arxiv.org/pdf/2304.11636…
