^ this dev gets it. But for those that wish they could be more comfortable with PRs like that, check out how to feel good about deleting dead code
I love throwing away code. I can do the same by end of May. Getting rid of SCCM once and for all! 👍
Beautiful!
That's a lot of code gone. Nice work!
Mostly dead code. I also deleted quite a bunch the weeks before. We've been finishing up quite some refactoring (moving from one java web framework to an other). Moving parts from the code base to managed via configuration. And plainly deleting sub-modules which are no longer used. We finally reached the point where we're able to get rid of a lot of files/code. Our code base in lines of code* has decreased from 822k (beginning of this year) to 665k. We're getting close to the size we had in 2014.
Quite a few of those "lines" moved outside our codes base. So they are not really gone, but they are now no longer the burden of the devs.
Sadly fisheye does not provide nice stats on how much I have been deleting for arbitrary time windows. Just "last week" and "all time".
But in the end:
*) code as in the broadest sense of the word, so includes XML, HTML, CSS, etc. Everything which sonarqube sees as code and counts towards our technical debt.
I planted loads of little veggie plants in my backyard garden this week! 🌱🌱🌱
Did you plant kale? That stuff is indestructible. I was eating the kale I planted until November and it was still growing in December.
As much as I wanna say kale yeah! right now, I haven't... yet.
But, I'll take you up on the suggestion! I had a friend say the same thing. I'm definitely a a kale lover and am going to try and fit it in! 😀
I didn’t expect to get non-programming tips on here haha
I was on dev.to daily this week. And even wrote a post.
Not so much week before that.
Does that count as win win? :)
Hell Yeahh !!
Finding this useful site
Welcome! :)
Thanks
We had a bunch of remediation scripts that were kind of floating around in different projects. So I pulled them all together and created a CLI tool. It’s super pretty and works really well! I’m quite proud of it 🙂
Wrote a two-part series about git and making a Pull Request to help beginners navigate the waters. The response to it has been great (and I'm a little bit still waiting to wake up from a dream)

Finished my first semester of grad school, and it looks like I got an A in both classes I took! 🎆🙌🎆
Congrats!
Refactored a painful query object from 500+ lines of PHP to just under 170.
Nice work 💪
Got this pretty nifty banner up for work using Canvas and SVG. Really stoked with how it all came out!
That looks awesome! Nice job!
Thank you so much!
Started having some health problems last week and I prioritized my health without compromise! This time last year I would have been trying to work through evenings to finish up work I had missed for doctor appointments because I didn't have a healthy work life balance.
