Refactoring Frenzy - Don't settle for short term
summary
Live refactoring of the Gilded Rose kata using Gilded Rose kata as the baseline, performing Extract Method, Inline, Invert If, Split/Merge/Flip and small object extraction inside IntelliJ refactorings, while keeping a single test that validates behavior and aiming to keep tests green. The demo orders conditionals for easier polymorphic extraction, introduces an ItemCategory wrapper instead of changing the Item class, and mentions the exercise is practiced over 70 times.
