Session
Do you use an "import everything" file throughout your codebase? Do you encounter maintenance headaches as a result? Do you have good intentions of addressing this but are having trouble making it a priority? This talk moves beyond the theory on why these files are an anti-pattern, and provides strategies and insights from a real-world example of eliminating these global resource files. By leveraging AI, we can reduce the grunt work involved and make this previously overwhelming refactoring challenge much more achievable.
