    It depends, if you work in a statically typed language you can just use a tool to refactor. I bet a ton of advice is from JavaScript programmers where it’s simply not safe to do this.

    My first job doing JavaScript I realized the IDE’s refactor tool wasn’t aware that two variables of the same name were in fact a different variable. Due to how scoping works, it’s hard to write a reliable tool to rename variables for JS. I accidentally introduced a bug renaming a variable.



  • The trial hinged on the following 17 seconds, which saw the Audi reverse a short distance, hitting an unmarked car behind, then accelerate forward, reaching an estimated 12mph before colliding with the BMW and a parked Tesla.

    Armed officers were heard shouting “go, go, go” and “armed police, get out of the f***ing car,” as they surrounded the vehicle, in footage played in court.

    The Audi then reversed at 8mph, hitting the unmarked Volvo behind, and was stationary as Mr Blake pulled the trigger of his carbine less than a second later
