C0D4669025yDeleting code can be when you have
- function1
- function1-new
- function1-new_new
- function1_v2
- function1_no_use_this
- function1_v3
- function1_v3_dont_use_others
- function1_master
All in use and all do different things to each other and return different data, im too fucking scared to delete them.
@thevariableman, I don't mind that, multi db collisions (master/slave scenarios) take you for a pleasure ride. -
Root797545yDeleting code is scary.
Deleting files is great.
Deleting projects is so much better.
And better still?
$ sudo shred -zfu -n 64 ~/company/from/hell/projects
I can't think of many things more satisfying than that. -
Oohh yes. I'm tidying up a lot of unused old code at the moment as part of a separate migration project. Feels rather good.

Deleting code is by far the most horrific thing. You always need that part you deleted again.

orhun12475yNot particularly deleting though. I would call it trimming the dead parts.
And if you suffer from hitting ctrl-z everytime, use fucking git.
Git rid of the dead parts.
Deleting code is so therapeutic. Right?
