When you say "user's problem", is the software dev the user? Or the end user? If you are saying it is not an issue for devs, I disagree. Dead code / used code paths add to the mental load and mantainance burden. Whether this is a significant enough issue to make a paid for product is another question :-)
- gitgud 6y agoWell, I'm just saying it's not an issue that businesses care about. Removing a few extra lines of unused code in a product will have basically no visible effect to the end user. And might have no measurable effect on the burden of maintenance either. Maybe if you could find a way to measure the complexity that you're reducing, in some kind of metric, then businesses will care.
- zizee 6y agoThanks, this is exactly the sort of feedback I'm after.
