Automating refactoring and code transformation is a fascinating and efficient way to eliminate technical debt. Today, we talk with Jonathan Schneider, a Co-Founder and CEO of Moderne, Inc., and a former senior Software Engineer at Netflix, where he created Netflix Rewrite - a large-scale automated refactoring tool for Java codebases. Jonathan is also the author of SRE with Java Microservices. Jonathan tells us about the advantages, challenges, and pitfalls of creating automated refactoring tools and how to use them.  When you finish listening to the episode, connect with Jonathan through the Moderne website and grab his book.  Mentioned in this episode: Jonathan on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonkschneider/ Moderne, Inc. at https://www.moderne.io SRE with Java Microservices at https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/sre-with-java/9781492073918/
