Bringing Order to Chaos

Hi.
I’m Scott.
[Hi Scott]
And I’ve written chaos code.
Lots of it.

 

@scottconnerly

CRAP1(m) = comp(m)^2 * (1 – cov(m)/100)^3 + comp(m)

If CRAP1(m) > 30, we consider the method to be CRAPpy.

Python, Ruby, & JS too, but no logos

Software is limited not by the amount of resources put into building it…

 

but by how complex it can get before it breaks down.

Bringing Order to Chaos

So, you find yourself coding in a code base that has some warts. OK, let's be honest, its a steaming pile of gum and toothpicks you're afraid to touch lest it might fall apart. How do you get from there to ... anywhere, let alone viable, architecturally useful, and stable? In this talk, we'll explore strategies I've used in the past and we'll have a bit of a group therapy session along the way.
