Removing entire features that nobody knows we have and haven’t been supported for years
Removing old code that happens to be terrible because you wrote it while you were tired and so you can shrink it from 50 lines down to 10 😌😌😌
Yeah… I was tired.
Nothing gives me imposter syndrome worse than seeing code I wrote a few weeks ago only to git blame to find the idiot who wrote it…
Youre good if you have a hard time after a few weeks, I get confused about wtf I did 15 minutes ago
Removing it even refactoring old code can be very therapeutic.
Humans just like feeling like they’re better than another human, deleting someone else’s code is loudly saying that you’re better than them in some metric. Nothing wrong with it, but that’s why writing code feels less powerful than yeeting other people’s shit.
So if I delete my own code, I feel better than myself!
I do it all the time, that’s awesome for my said esteem.
This is not humor, it’s a fact lol
Humour can’t be factual?
