From the Preface

What is Tidy First?

“I have to change this code but it’s messy. What should I do next?”

“Maybe I should tidy the code before I make the change. Maybe. Some. Or maybe not.” These are questions you might ask yourself, and if there were an easy answer, I wouldn’t have to write a book to cover it.

Tidy First? describes:

When to tidy messy code before changing what it computes.
How to tidy messy code safely and efficiently.
How to stop tidying messy code.
Why tidying works.

Software design is an exercise in human relationships. In Tidy First? we start with the proverbial person in the mirror—with the programmer’s relationship with themself. Why don’t we take time to care for ourselves? Take time to make our work easier? Why do we go down the rabbithole of cleaning code to the exclusion of work that would help our users?

Tidy First? is the next step in my mission to help geeks feel safe in the world. It’s also the first step to take when addressing the common question posed above. Software design is a powerful tool to ease pain in the world—if it is used well. Used badly, it becomes just another instrument of oppression and becomes a drag on the effectiveness of software development.

By the end of this book, you will understand:

The fundamental difference between changes to the behavior of a system and changes to its structure.
The enabling magic of alternating investment in structure and investment in behavior, as a lone programmer changing code.
The basics of the theory of how software design works and the forces that act on it.

And you will be able to:

Improve your own experience of programming by sometimes tidying first (and sometimes tidy after).
Begin to make large changes in small, safe steps.
Approach software design as an exercise in human relationships

Audience

This book is meant for programmers, lead developers, hands-on software architects, and technical managers. It is not tied to any programming languages and all developers will also be able to read and apply the concepts in this book to their own projects. This book assumes that the reader is not new to programming in general.
