Maybe I am weird but I like doing stuff like that. I am more of an optimizer than from-scratch-creator so I like having a starting point. Then you just refactor your way through the system while adding new stuff and fixing bugs. I also like debugging and profiling :-(.


I'm with you. The worst part of a project (when I was doing them) was getting the first to end-to-end proof of concept going.

Give me profiling tools, debuggers and refactoring tools any day of the week.


Nothing wrong with that! There are more of out there than we think :-)


Can i hire you both?!? Seriously, are there many people that relish refactoring? I'd like to meet them. How to find them?


I've been thinking about marketing myself as "Code Janitor", actually :)


If you have any Django / Python based stuff that needs refactored and are willing to hire remote I would be up for it.


Here! I spent a lot of my early career porting legacy code from one language/platform to another and I liked that well enough. Now I spend more time refining my own code than is really necessary, just because I enjoy it.


Seems you can find them here :-)


Plenty of us out here!


Make me an offer! :-)
