This is not humor, it’s a fact lol

Removing or even refactoring old code can be very therapeutic.

Removing entire features that nobody knows we have and haven’t been supported for years

Removing old code that happens to be terrible because you wrote it while you were tired and so you can shrink it from 50 lines down to 10 😌😌😌

Humans just like feeling like they’re better than another human, deleting someone else’s code is loudly saying that you’re better than them in some metric. Nothing wrong with it, but that’s why writing code feels less powerful than yeeting other people’s shit.
