“Software design is preparation for change; change of behavior” Tidy First? is a new book by Kent Beck. It is a short little book, only about 100 pages (and lots of white space on them)…
The book “Tidy First?” introduces the concept of "tidyings," which are small refactorings that don't change program behavior, but make it easier to implement behavioral changes. It’s important to structurally prepare code before implementing behavioral changes. A balance must be struck between the time value of money and optionality in software, highlighting the need to create a structure that supports quick changes.
I've hopped out of electronics and now make a living coding in an adjacent area, but find myself working with colleagues that are happy approaching all tasks like a script.
Code reviews, coupling etc arent part of their vocab so in lieu of peer role models im on the look out for good resources thst aren't just chasing the next buzzword.
