Code Simplification

Clarify working code without changing behavior

Workflow · MIT

When

Simplifies code for clarity. Use when refactoring code for clarity without changing behavior. Use when code works but is harder to read, maintain, or extend than it should be. Use when reviewing code that has accumulated unnecessary complexity.

The Catch

Clarify without changing behavior. Easy to “simplify” into a rewrite.
