Highly recommend reading Martin Fowler's book Refactoring. One of his main points is that refactoring code should continuously be part of the process of software development, especially when handling legacy code. He provides some great examples of refactoring, provides lots of refactoring techniques, and even addresses why its so important and how to advocate for time to do it from management. I just read this book and have found it invaluable for refactoring some code I wrote 5 years ago for a personal project. Check it out!
