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 ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜Œ

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

Humour can't be factual?

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.

So if I delete my own code, I feel better than myself!

I do it all the time, that's awesome for my said esteem.

Removing or even refactoring old code can be very therapeutic.

Most of my recent work was updating and refactoring old code, this hits right home lol
