For me when you refactor, you are positioning the code in such a way so that it will be re-usable when you need it to be. It has not been (really) separated yet.

When I was making this analogy...I guess it depends. When I was making this analogy, I had Javascript in mind. Most js hacks involve a huge set of function definitions and calls, all intertwined and confusing to figure out. Code refactoring for such hacks involves making logical separations in the code and define proper abstractions.Jesse P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09416618731753442153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948670280932802664.post-86552629217894006192009-10-12T17:55:18.880+08:002009-10-12T17:55:18.880+08:00It is a good analogy but not entirely true.

It is more like forming a clay ball into well defined (lego?)parts but the difference between your analogy is that the parts as still connected but can be separated at any time.Semper Ubi Sub Ubihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17472463767081874246noreply@blogger.com
