I didn't expect to see this on the front page of HN, but I guess I should provide an update. Looking back, I agree that the car/plane analogy was stretched, but I still stand by this advice. Too often, I see code bloat that simply isn't worthwhile, and I constantly work to correct the problem. Today, we removed backbone.js from our front-end code. The change improved load times and reduced complexity. I'm quite happy with it. It only took a few days, but it will pay dividends indefinitely. In terms of day-to-day activities, I'm still busy with work[1] and I've continued the same GitHub streak[2]. As blog posts go, this one hasn't caused me much embarrassment. 1. https://floobits.com/ https://floobits.com/ 2. http://geoff.greer.fm/photos/screenshots/Screen%20Shot%202014-11-10%20at%2023.53.14.png http://geoff.greer.fm/photos/screenshots/Screen%20Shot%20201...
