Refactor me

This repository represents a step by step refactoring of a dirty code given me as a test task to estimate my coding skills. The only remark about the code was: "refactor_me.py is expected to contain Python 3.5.x code" (actually file naming was not provided in the task).

I did it in a way that every commit contains one particular change described in the commit message. The original dirty code can be found in this commit: 1036c091cb70ef110b4e56702bdc012c8a110336

Remarks on final result:

• 100 character line length limit is used on purpose

Please, do not hesitate to submit pull requests for improvements if you feel that I missed something.

I should tell that I disagree with Yegor a lot about software development (may be because Yegor is a Java developer and I am a Python developer), but I do agree with Yegor a lot about software development management and people management.

My repo stats

My prospective clients and employers often ask me to show some code before agreeing to work with me. Unfortunately (or fortunately), most of the code I have wrote has been written professionally therefore the code is covered by NDA and closed sourced. I can not disclose the code, but it is OK to publish some stats to shed light on what I have done in the past as a software developer.
