And reflecting on the process after I'm (mostly) finished. Reading @martinfowler 's book Refactoring definitely helped motivate me to do this. I encourage you to give it a read if you haven't yet and you're someone who writes code for fun or a living.

Been a crazy busy week: researching my next play; zapping up to Huddersfield for some masterclasses; reviewing the latest from @thattimwalker.bsky.social (5*) and the RSC (3*); enjoying some bonkers Shakespeare consultancy; and mourning #MartinFowler.

Hi #rubyfriends at #railsconf! Have a listen to this blast from the past...my interview with @dhh AND @martinfowler from 2007 https://www.hanselminutes.com/65 @hanselminutes
Scott talks to Martin Fowler and David Heinemeier Hansson
Scott sits down with Martin Fowler of Thoughtworks and David Heinemeier Hansson of 37 signals and talks about beauty, making developers happen, the death (or life) of HTML, the future of Microsoft, and asks if we should care about Rich Internet Applications. DHH is the creator of the Ruby on Rails framework, and Martin Fowler is the Chief Scientist at ThoughtWorks, well-known systems architect and Extreme Programming expert.
