You write less code by: - Removing dead code - Applying a coding standard to emphasize code consistency, so similar problems have similar solutions. - Once you have similar problems, you can generalize code to solve a family of problems instead of a single problem. Otherwise known as code reuse. - Diminish coupling so code can be reused as much as possible.
