Live Refactoring with Ben

In this video, I spend 90 minutes refactoring a Ruby codebase originally written by Aaron Patterson (@tenderlove) and Corey Haines (@coreyhaines), all while narrating what I'm doing to Geoffrey Grosenbach (@topfunky).

Along the way, we bump into a ton of juicy topics (Geoffrey asks great questions. We cover my refactoring philosophies, favorite techniques, TDD style, terse shell aliases, and hard-earned OO wisdom.

You'll see me constantly running tests from Vim, attempting to keep everything green while turning a prototype-quality codebase into something (hopefully!) more understandable and maintainable.
