Question: Any tips on code refactoring? I'm always afraid of breaking sth. Do you use test automation?

If you can break it into smaller steps and keep them around as separate commits, that's good. Also, if you can leverage the compiler to catch mistakes (i.e. if changing the meaning of a variable, change its name too so that you have to manually check every use of it) that's good. And of course, test early and test often.
