I just finished reading Tidy First by Kent Beck. 📚

This is a relatively short and accessible book, but full of valuable insights. I especially appreciated the concept of micro-tidying—small, incremental improvements that aren’t full-blown refactorings, but still make the codebase more understandable and maintainable.

Kent Beck also dives into when to tidy your code, how to split pull requests effectively, and how to think about the time spent tidying as an investment. He offers a thoughtful perspective on balancing short-term costs with long-term benefits throughout the software lifecycle.

Definitely worth a read if you're interested in writing cleaner code with intention.
