The "Legacy Code: First Aid Kit" contains 14 techniques to quickly and safely rescue a legacy codebase:

1. Identify Hotspots
2. Draw Dependency Graphs
3. The Mikado Method & The Parking
4. Micro-committing
5. Exploratory Refactoring

14. Progressive Naming

Each move comes with a structure that explains when to use it, how to implement it, why it works, and how to adapt to various situations.

With these 14 moves, you will be able to identify what makes code difficult to test, quickly deploy a safety net around it, and clean up messy code while shipping value as you go!
