The X-Refactor

I actually don't so much mind refactoring code, as long as I am doing something that will improve the code base. For instance, today I worked with one of my colleagues to convert a reference to a particular class to a reference to a shared interface implementation. This was good, because now anyone else who has the same problem will be able to implement the method on the interface and get the behavior that they want.

And then there is the refactoring that is just cleaning up after other people who have introduced references to other libraries in classes that simply shouldn't be using those libraries. This is much *less* fun.

At least the end is in sight.
