Ew the icky
CodeSmell! Look at that poorly factored OO. Ew! Better get
ReFactoring right now!
Um, okay dainty-boots, now you come down here to the
CodeSewer where I live. I've got 3 million lines of VB3/VB6. Half a million lines of 1980s C. Another half of
old school java. Old Iron databases. Millions of flat files used as
SourceOfTruth. None a that
InversionOfControl down here. It's plumbing, sister, miles and miles of stinking, steaming, dirty, greasy plumbing. And you can just forget about
ReFactoring it sweetie-pie - 'cause you're
PolishingaTurd!.
Just one moment there bud. ReFactoring isn't nail-files and cuticle repair, but no one said it's the only trick in the book. When you find yourself in a CodeSewer what you want is heavy duty hydrochloric TestInjection. Like a white tornado! If you don't like that then I guess you're an OldGuardDeveloper - and I'm injecting around, over, or right through you. Look out!
