Refactoring is Good for the Soul

As my colleague said to me this afternoon,

"Refactoring makes you feel clean."

So true. Fortunately for me I've had a few food opportunities at work this week to refactor some Java code and make it better for those that follow (either end-users or fellow developers). Without going into the details exhaustively (one was a simple, yet elegant introduction of a Java interface to enable me to replace conditional logic with polymorphism), it just felt good.

Yes, refactoring is good for the soul!
