\\u201cGood code should be resilient to bugs. It should make it easier to do the changes that you want to the system. Some refactoring could make it harder to make changes. So, if you guess wrongly the direction of the software, then it can have a negative effect."

Christian Clausen is a Technical Agile Coach specializing in teaching teams on how to refactor their code properly. He is also the author of \\u201cFive Lines of Code\\u201d. In this episode, Christian explained in-depth about refactoring, when and how we should do refactoring, the components, workflow, and pillars of refactoring.
