Telerik says, "Your Code Sucks" [and four more reasons you shouldn't be afraid to refactor]

The Telerik Blogs - Just* Team - Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Refactor Your Code

I am a huge proponent of writing quality code, a view that is shared by many of my colleagues. Unfortunately, I do encounter those who do not share my enthusiasm.

Enjoy!
