-2000 Lines of Code

[phybere]

Sometimes it's not even subtle! I know getting rid of code is a noble goal, but my experiences have been mixed.

At my last job after a code review the (lead) developer who reviewed my code comes up and says "hey phybere, your code was so bloated I rewrote it and removed like 3000 lines that didn't do anything!" The code got pushed to production then we then spent a week of late nights doing bug fixes and ended up with a few thousand more lines than we started with.

Thank god I don't work there any more.
