Refactoring

A catalogue of small, safe, named moves for changing code without changing what it does. The value is not the list, it is the habit it builds: you stop rewriting things in one heroic go and start improving them in steps small enough that you never lose a working state. Read the first three chapters even if you never touch the catalogue.
