But congratulations on reducing it to three. Likewise, I think, re the size of audience for your article. I have a <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~jcdverha/scijokes/10.html#48">translated vision</a> of dnt reading the blog entry and trying to figure out who the other person is.

Honest. It’s not that long since I read Refactoring, so I automate on the third time too. Honest.

While it contains lots of useful advice, it is mostly a mechanical description of how to transform source code. Mechanical description? Transforming data? Isn't that what computers are meant to do for us! Hey, at least it made refactoring sexy and socially acceptable. That's the biggest benefit of XP too, I think. It made unit tests sexy. Post-XP, you can say "Yeah, I'm writing tests" and sound cool. The Refactoring book annoys me.
