The existing devs will hate you. They already knew how it worked - now they may not even you've finished - and unlike normal refactoring you never knew how it was supposed to work.
This is a good way to cut the velocity of whole project so you don't look as lost though.
- daveguy 9y agoI don't think the point is to move the refactor into production. The refactor is a learning exercise. But if you start on the least understood, ugliest parts of the code the devs might welcome a refactor of those bits.
- WrtCdEvrydy 9y agoNote, I did not say "commit to Production". Just set up the feature branch and tear it apart. Most code out there has 0 comments and uses conventions from when it was written (god help you if it's a legacy product)
