"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." -- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
One of my buddies was infamous for a while for being the "I deleted X lines of code today" guy.
- space_ghost 4mo ago>"Perfection is achieved..." I, too, am a fan of RFC 1925.
- jamesfinlayson 4mo agoI remember working with a guy who apparently deleted more code than he added in his time at the company. I think it said more about the codebase than anything but it was good that someone was trying to make it better.
- darnir 4mo agoFunnily, I have been that guy at the last 3 places I've worked at. Every place has some amount of cruft code, and I love sniffing it out and deleting it.
