Do You Want to Take This Code With You into the Future?
summary
A KonMari-to-refactor method maps six rules to concrete steps: commit to organize long-term, migrate feature-by-feature into a simple “new house” directory instead of rewriting everything, preserve small proven methods and ported pieces like dynamic type, and treat concurrency as the hardest, highest-risk area. Applied at a calorie-counter app (MyPlate) this approach yields steady progress and less churn, recommends metrics for what to keep, and advocates gratitude for legacy work while keeping only code that sparks joy.
