Refactoring legacy code is both a challenging and rewarding experience, especially in WordPress projects that have grown organically over the years. š ļø
Recently, I was working on a project that involved cleaning up a WordPress theme that had been patched and expanded on for years. There were 30+ functions in the functions.php file, all doing very different things. The first step? Refactoring them into a well-organized set of files and using autoloading.
The feeling of taking something messy and making it elegant? Priceless. Anyone else find joy in refactoring? š
