When should you refactor your product's code?

Hi Bootstrappers,

Listen to this week's episode of Bootstrapped:
https://bootstrapped.fm/143-when-should-you-refactor-your-products-code/

When, if ever, should you, should make changes to your product’s code that don’t change its external behaviour?

How do you weigh up the risks of breaking things against the ease of future development?

Steve and Ed get way more technical than usual in this episode.

Until next time,

Steve McLeod
