Yes please.
I have worked with multiple large legacy codebases and usually need to do global searches across them in order to figure out basic things like how functions are called and from where for one example. When this generates a huge list of search results you then need to consider all possible paths in order to complete a bug fix, new feature or refactor.
One thing I see way too often are files sitting next to each other that look like this:
SuperImportantCodeFile
SuperImportantCodeFile2
SuperImportantCodeFileOLD
- worldsayshi 10y agoSuch code smell. Just delete it and tell whoever complains to check the git history.
- craigmcnamara 10y ago`git blame SuperImportantCodeFile2` => Fired
- knocte 10y agoI actually agree so much with this.
