When I started at my new job I inherited a website that was, to put it mildly, written poorly. Unfortunately due to the nature of a fast paced business you can't always take the time to make code right. You have to just pile bad on top of bad because it works.
However recently I took the time to refactor a page. Before starting it had 2,411 lines of code... after I was done, 649!!! What used to be a pain to add onto or edit, is now a breeze.
So when the time is write, refactor. It makes life a lot better. Better yet... write it right to begin with!

I am a visual basic programmer and I read somewhere that there is a refactoring add-in for visual studio. I know C# has one built in, but maybe you can point me in the direction where I can find and install the VB add-in. Thanks..
