Abstraction Patterns - Making Code Reliably Better Without Deep Understanding

Explore abstraction patterns for improving code quality without deep domain knowledge in this conference talk from ACCU 2022. Learn how to recognize cues within existing code to create effective abstractions, such as grouping related variables into classes or consolidating functionality into functions. Discover techniques for enhancing code readability and maintainability, applicable to both newly written and legacy code. Gain insights from Kate Gregory's 40+ years of programming experience as she demonstrates how to apply these patterns to make your code more robust and understandable, even when working with unfamiliar domains or complex systems.
