I discuss the dilemma of whether or not to refactor code that may not have the best design.
There are always trade-offs involved in leaving messy code versus investing time in making it better designed. It’s not straightforward whether you should undertake a refactor.
Understanding the scope of the refactor is also critical. Your changes can have a big impact on future developers and the overall system. In the video, I provide a set of questions to ask oneself before undertaking a refactor and emphasize the need for collaboration with the team.
Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that refactors drive value and benefit both developers and end users.
