Key Takeaways
Rob Mulla discusses a classic refactoring mistake in software design, highlighting errors in previous refactoring attempts and exploring traps developers fall into during the process, with a focus on tests, coverage, and cleaner code hiding logical mistakes
Original Description
💡 Learn how to design great software in 7 steps: https://arjan.codes/designguide.
In my previous video on refactoring complicated business logic, I made several mistakes and you spotted them. In this video, I go through what went wrong, why these kinds of errors are so easy to introduce during refactoring, and the traps developers fall into when they assume they understand the rules encoded in existing code. We’ll look at how tests, coverage, and “cleaner” code can still hide logical mistakes, and why there often is no single ground truth when dealing with business logic.
