It's 100% a good thing..
Most places I've worked (> 20 years) regularly delete dead code. Not all the time, but often enough that it's not a problem.
Tech docs on the other hand seem to still kick around. Mostly I read the Tests these days. This tells me the why, and how better than any doc I've ever seen. And they're up to date.
- john_the_writer 4y agoI should add, it's not typically done (from my exp) as a bespoke task. Sometimes "delete this endpoint" but often it's just a matter of refactoring.
- vedant_ag 4y agoSo teams pick up some refactoring tasks in the sprint (from time to time), and it usually includes code deletion? This makes sense.
