- notpachet 5y agoI worked with a developer at <household ecommerce company> whose main claim to fame was that she'd deleted more features than she'd added. We need more people like her.
- jjoonathan 5y agoeBay has deleted a lot of features that made my life better. There was no replacement -- things just suck more, now.
- mixmastamyk 5y agoDelete code yes, features only if obnoxious.
- CamperBob2 5y agoWhat? No. Not if people used those features and found them valuable.
- notpachet 5y agoYou're right. Dead or dying features that were bloating up the rest of the codebase, I should say.
- chrisdhoover 5y agoI made a career of fixing broken things.
