Talking about Refactoring on the Ruby Rogues Podcast

Last week I sat with the Ruby Rogues - a podcast about development in the Ruby and Rails world (Avdi Grimm, Jessica Kerr and host Charles Max Wood). They have a regular book club, and their book this time was the Ruby edition of Refactoring We talked about the definition of refactoring, why we find we don’t use debuggers much, what might be done to modernize the book, the role of refactoring tools, whether comments can be used for good, the trade-off between refactoring and rewriting, modularity and microservices, and how the software industry has changed over the last twenty years.

Alexander Petrov Awesome episode!
Especially I like metaphor of optimizing route with going to highway by Jessica Kerr, instead of going straight forward with country road, or something like this. It is about Reafactor before implement some feature to prepare code for organic implementation of this feature.
Also It was interesting to me to know, that Martin had to give definition to Microservices thing in classic article with Jemes Lewis jast after the Hype on them was already exist. My favorite point in article is the one-to-one relation between Bounded Contexsts from DDD and Microservices Boundaries. So it would be better to name Microservices -> Macroservices, but it is wat it is:)

Thank you very much for inspiration, Martin, and all Ruby Rogues!
