The Art of Refactoring

Refactoring is not about making code perfect. It is about making code more honest.

Each refactoring session is an opportunity to align the code more closely with its true purpose.

Remove what is unnecessary. Clarify what is confusing. Simplify what is complex.

But know when to stop. Perfect code is an illusion—good enough code that serves its purpose is wisdom.

The master refactorer knows that the goal is not perfection, but clarity of intent.
