At a previous job, the boss awarded praise, and "points" each week for the developer who removed the most code from production. Counted as lines of code deleted according to git.
(Points were redeemable for schwag from the company shop. They were highly desirable and nearly cash equivalents).
Deleting code is arguably the most valuable work you could be doing.
