Isn’t it great when you get in the zone when coding? Now and then you come to the end of the day and think:
Man I wrote a lot of code today
but, it is always nicer to think:
Man, I wrote some elegant code today
I was really excited as I had one of those days. Due to a major refactoring I was able to write negative code.
The LOC of my functionality went down by ~60%. Now, I am left with an infinitely cleaner API for myself, and others, to use…. and the innards are readable and grokable.
Gotta love nuking some code! Less to maintain!

Being able to execute on insights
Dion discovers the pleasure of removing code. This is also by far the most enjoyable aspect of programming for me….
