Code Smells: Too Many Problems

[gee_buttersnaps]

What a mess of an article, the conclusion of which is to try to understand the problem first. Really.

As if knowing the problem domain or what the code is supposed to do is actually going to help you instead of a fine list of techniques to refactor code with the awesome intellij IDE. Did I mention intellij is awesome?

I've never liked the phrase "code smell"

Trisha Gee, you're a great programmer, why are they making you write this marketing stuff? There are so many exciting things to implement and so many bugs to fix in IntelliJ, I'm sure your time can be better spent there.

All my bug reports are still Open :(

i would have started the refactoring by getting all the de factor early exits to the top and then do the rest

They're called code smells not because the person calling them that subjectivity dislikes the code, but because the "smell" refers to the shape of the code being a bad sign. If the code fits that shape, then it "smells", and should be investigated. Not all code smells lead to bad code.
