If deleting lines of code means I'm deleting potential bugs...

should I delete EVERYTHING? ):)

    I suggested that jff to the product manager once.
    He was like "If you don't delete all features but just the unnecessary code... "
    Who would leave "unnecessary code" in the product?! *rant*

    The problem:
    deleting lines of code also deletes potential features!

    solution:
    write lines of code which have a higher potential of being features than bugs. :D

    In this case, everything I deleted WAS totally unnecessary and unused code, so I lost nothing and gained a cleaner codebase.

    In my opinion deleting lines is harder and more valuable than adding them. And no, deleting lines doesn't necessarily correlate with deleting features. Like 90% of all software is boilerplate or plainly unused.
