In this #devlog I implement a lives system, introduce a crash bug, then fix it & create a web playable version of the game. Next I begin work on a pickups system to score points by collecting food and streamline the entire codebase by #refactoring to use the #Unity event system. https://youtu.be/hrbINTjkdbo #gamedev #buildinpublic #cleancode
Linked is one of the best refactoring “recipe” books I’ve seen. I recognize single one of the patterns that are described! I’ve seen them and I’ve done them. It should be a checklist for beginning devs. https://salas.com/2025/04/28/refactoring-gone-wild-avoiding-code/#clean-code #programming #refactoring #how-to #better-programming #software-engineering
Test-Driven Development can be considered as reducing your WIP (Work-In-Progress) at a microlevel. By focusing on writing just enough code to make a failing test pass, refactoring what you added and push to source control, we minimise the amount of unexecuted code (= WIP). Limiting WIP is essential for fast software delivery.

I find that the issue Kent Beck talks about here:
https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/why-tdd-doesnt-lead-to-dumb-code
... is very fundamental to TDD and centers around a couple of commonly missed aspects of it (even though they are spelled out in Test Driven Development by Example)
1- When passing the test, there is a Fake It approach you can take if you don't see the Obvious Implementation right away before you move on to Triangulation and add more tests.
2- When you are using Fake It, the Refactoring step is not primarily about making the code "nicer", but generalizing by removing the duplication between the test and the production code. This is only refactoring in the sense that you are staying green. That's why the step is not optional and getting to green using the simplest, naive implementation is a core part of the process.
I think not using Fake It is one of the two main reasons people fail with TDD (the other is not making writing more testable code a design goal.)

Spent 2 hours yesterday do to a refactoring and cleanup of template files for Cloudhiker. 2 hours very well invested, because the structure is clearer now and I'll spend fewer time searching for specific files.

What is refactoring, why is it important and how can you get really good at it? In this Making Tech Better podcast episode, I spoke to @emilybache about enhancing the skills and culture of your teams, to make your code easier to understand and cheaper to modify.

One danger of a too transparent box used for TDD is that tests get too coupled to a specific implementation and thus hinder refactoring and evolution. ie, taking the soft out of software.
Sure you are aware of that, but novices easily fall into that trap, when they not have learned enough about refactoring towards simpler code.

Je suis un développeur logiciel expérimenté (20+ :) indépendant, mentor et coach, je serai disponible en février.
Si vous cherchez un coup de main pour dompter une base de code sauvage, préparer une grosse évolution ou plus généralement développer un logiciel maintenable, c'est le bon moment :)
J'interviens principalement de deux façons:
* intégré à l'équipe, je fais le taf avec vous en pair programming
* et/ou en accompagnement, je vous guide dans vos réflexions et l'implémentation (qq heures/semaine)
* tous langages/technos/environnements
* remote only ou Ambert
* déplacement ponctuel ok
* freelance

Sure, practice #refactoring so that your code is likely more amenable to the next needed change.
But don't sleep on how it also makes *you* likely more amenable to the next needed refactoring.
