DEAD CODE, GETTING UNTANGLED, AND COUPLING VERSUS DECOUPLING

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This post offers 3 full chapters and some details on the background of the book “Tidy First?” by Kent Beck, the creator of test-driven development. The three chapters are focused on three parts: Tidyings (focused on what to do), Managing (focused on how to do it), and Theory (focused on why to do it). The article also mentions the importance of deleting dead code, managing the tangled relationship between tidying and changing code behavior, and explores the trade-off between coupling and decoupling in software design.
