Messy code is a nuisance. "Tidying" code, to make it more readable, requires breaking it up into manageable sections. In this practical guide, author Kent Beck, creator of Extreme Programming and pioneer of software patterns, suggests when and where you might apply tidyings to improve your code while keeping the overall structure of the system in mind.
Instead of trying to master tidying all at once, this book lets you try out a few examples that make sense for your problem. If you have a big function containing many lines of code, you'll learn how to logically divide it into smaller chunks. Along the way, you'll learn the theory behind software design: coupling, cohesion, discounted cash flows, and optionality.

Easily digestible short chapters that remind you of simple things you should be considering each time you touch code.
What Kent Beck is saying seems obvious but perhaps that's because he explains his views so well. I think this could turn any programmer on to writing better, simpler code.
All in all a great book with a lot of nuggets in it. There is probably no middle ground. You either give it five starts or none at all.
I like his writing style. I know his voice from many videos and podcasts and it’s helpful for me to have the book read to me inside my head with his voice and his intonation. That might sound a bit weird but you know what I mean if you do the same. :-)
The content is a bit of a mixture between „old“ stuff regarding refactoring and new stuff regarding the economics of software or software changes.
