when confronted with messy code
Speaker: Dan Nicolici
Summary
• About me
• Motivation
• Definitions
• Common scenario
• Walk-through with code example
• Conclusions
• Q & A
About me
• first contact with programming '87-'88
• BASIC (plot, draw, circle, beep…)
• first job 2004 (php, java, OOP…)
• from 3 person companies, SMEs, corporations
• Pascal, Cx
, PHP, JS, Java, Scala, clojure, Elixir
• programmer, lead, architect, SM, QA
• always interested in clean, simple code that works
• now owner & programmer @ bitGloss
Motivation
There is waaaay too much
inefficiency between feature request
and feature delivery…
so I’ve been told…
just kidding…
I haven’t been told…
1000 times
what?
Definitions
Software feature
Intended capability of a software product
Feature delivery
The presence of the feature in a major SCM branch
The presence of the feature in production
Definitions
Messy code
No football players were harmed
while this picture was taken!
...but afterwards… shhh...
Definitions
Messy code
Code that is difficult to understand and change
(by professional programmers, not football players)
Common scenario
Hi Bob!
Can you please
create an OK
button by next
week?
Yes, of course!
Common scenario
Team, “we” need to
deliver a custom UX
component that
facilitates business
continuity.
?? ??WTF?
Common scenario
Can you estimate
how long it will take?
20d 13spforever
Common scenario
We need it
next week!
Why
estimate?
OK
Not
gonna
happen
Common scenario
What do
we do?
How to
do it?
I hate
my life
Walk-through with code example
This is where we actually do something
useful in this presentation.
Ready?
Walk-through with code example
If you’re seeing this slide for too long,
the speaker didn’t manage to bring up
the IDE. Loser...
Conclusions
Identify affected
area
AND
mixed concerns
Conclusions
Build new module
(TDD)
Conclusions
Use new module
with minimal
impact
(create seam)
Conclusions
Refactor affected
area only!
Conclusions
Don’t forget to have
FUN
