Systematically refactor features to remove technical debt by eliminating cruft and dead abstractions while preserving core functionality.
About
A methodology for systematically refactoring code to eliminate technical debt—removing compatibility cruft, dead abstractions, and historical compromises as if the correct architecture had existed from day one. Development teams use this to recover architectural coherence in aging codebases and reset the foundation for future growth without the risk of unmethodical rewrites.
- 7-step refactor workflow
- Candidate detection
- Architecture modernization
- No legacy cruft
- Methodology-driven
Zero Tech Debt by the numbers
