In this video, David Scott Bernstein breaks down seven crucial strategies for determining when to refactor code. With the ever-growing volume of code in the software industry, it’s essential to know when refactoring is worth the risk and cost. From handling critical legacy code and documenting hard-to-understand systems to refactoring for new features and bug fixes, David explains how to make the best decisions for keeping your software maintainable. By following these strategies, you can ensure your code remains clean, flexible, and ready for future updates without unnecessary risk. Learn when to refactor, when to leave code as-is, and how to balance risk with reward in your development process.
