A friendly reminder that "refactor" means "make and commit a tiny change in less than a few minutes" (see links below). The OP and many comments here use "refactor" when they actually mean "rewrite".

I hear from my clients (but have not verified myself!) that LLMs perform much better with a series of tiny, atomic changes like Replace Magic Literal, Pull Up Field, and Combine Functions Into Transform.
