But people who get frustrated with Buy RS Gold the slow pace of reform and advocate revolution often fail to realize the full complexity of the problem and thus don't give the existing system enough credit for the things it does.Joel Spolsky has written a classic article about this without falling into the trap of making strained political metaphors.The best way of reforming code is to make one minimal change at a time, test it and commit it. When the change is small it is easier to understand its consequences and make sure that it doesn't affect the existing functionality.

If something goes wrong, you only have a small amount of code that you need to check.If you start doing a change and realize that it is bad, you won't lose much work by reverting to the last commit. If you notice after a while that something has gone subtly wrong, a binary search in the revision history will let you find the small change that introduced the problem.A common mistake is to do more than one thing at the same time. For example, while getting rid of an unnecessary level of inheritance you might notice that the API methods are not as orthogonal as you would like them to be and start to rearrange them. Don't! Get rid of the inheritance first, commit that and then fix the API.Smart programmers organize the way they work so that they don't have to be that smart.

Try to find a path that takes you from what the code is now to what you want it to be in a sequence of small steps. For example, in one step you might rename the methods to give them more sane names. In the next, you might change some member variables to function parameters. Then you reorder some algorithms so that they are clearer. And so on.If you start doing a change and realize that it was a bigger change than you originally thought, don't be afraid to revert and find a way of doing the same thing in smaller, simpler steps.4. Don't clean and fix at the same timeThis is a corollary to 3, but important enough to get its own point.It is a common problem.

You start to look at a module because you want to add some new functionality. Then you notice that the code is really badly organized, so you start reorganizing it at the same time as you are adding the new functionality.The problem with DarkScape Gold this is that cleaning and fixing has diametrically opposite goals. When you clean, you want to make the code look better without changing its functionality. When you fix, you want to change its functionality to something better. If you clean and fix at the same time, it becomes very hard to make sure that your cleaning didn't inadvertently change something.Do the cleaning first.
