You're complaining about 4 hours? If you can spend 4 hours to make your code easier to understand, that's very likely to save someone 4 hours down the road.
When it's 4 days or 4 months, then it becomes an issue.
- GordonS 8y agoOf course I'm not complaining about a once-in-a-lifetime 4 hours - I mean, I do this all the time!
- akvadrako 8y agoI see. Well I used to have a tendency to start refactoring something, then see it’ll be easier if I refactor another part and so on. I would dig myself into a well so deep it might take a month to crawl out of before my code is useable again, but it would be a huge waste to stop. If you’ve only invested 4 hours it doesn’t seem that bad.
