Скачать или смотреть Refactoring a Complex React Form

My React EventForm component had grown into a 1,872-line monster that I was afraid to touch. Every change felt risky, testing was impossible, and finding specific logic required endless scrolling. Sound familiar?

In this video, I'll show you exactly how I partnered with Claude AI to refactor this massive component into a clean, modular architecture that's actually maintainable and testable.

🔧 Before vs After:

Before: 1,872 lines in a single file
After: 17 focused files with single responsibilities
Before: Impossible to test individual features
After: Each hook and component independently testable
Before: Fear of making changes
After: Confident refactoring with isolated logic

💡 Key Insight: This wasn't just about splitting up code - it was about learning React architecture patterns through AI-guided conversations. Instead of asking "refactor this for me," I asked "why should this logic go here?" and learned the reasoning behind each decision.
