    This document discusses principles of refactoring code. It defines refactoring as changing and modifying code internally to improve structure and comprehension without altering external behavior. The document advises switching between two hats - one for refactoring and one for adding new functionality. When refactoring, the goal is to eliminate duplicate code to make future code edits easier, even if it does not directly increase speed. Principles discussed include balancing refactoring with new features and being aware of which "hat" is being worn during the coding process.
