Why refactor? To reduce volatility in the marginal cost of features.
We can see this as a socially acceptable way of saying "to express love", especially in a job context.

It's common for legacy code to have deeply nested statements
They make code harder to read/think about (cognitive overload) 😵💫
Did you know "Guard Clauses" can help you simplify these? The key is to return early on exceptions, unnest the happy path 💂
Here's an example in JavaScript 👇
