We spend most of our time changing existing code. Often, there’s no test and the authors are long gone! It feels like a pain because you're always in a hurry, rushing to ship new features and bug fixes before the end of the Sprint… But what if you had a secret weapon? Let me share with you 7 concrete techniques that will help you regain control of any Legacy.
Nicolas is a web developer who loves building communities and maintainable software.
When he's not enjoying life with his family or working at Centered, he organizes the "Software Crafters Montréal" meetup and develops VS Code extensions.
He shares tips & tricks to work with Legacy Code every week on his blog Understand Legacy Code.
