I started doing this a year ago and it really helped me to maintain code. My new goal is to be able to read other's code, make it more readable, and fix the problem just as fast as it would have been without slight, constant refactoring.

I want to run a team so I can teach the whole team to work this way. Then I'll handle all the complex refactorings, which I really enjoy doing, while they greenfield new features. If they can write code this way, then I'll be able to refactor it without having to study it to figure out what it's doing.
