A Productive Day

According to our stats, yesterday I deleted over a thousand lines of code – sounds like a productive day to me. Hopefully today I’ll find another thousand lines to delete. It’s amazing how unused methods can build up without you noticing. Eclipse will tell you about unused private methods, but not about public ones that aren’t used anymore. Most of them had unit tests even, just that the entire functionality had become unneeded. There’s probably some duplication in there as well that will let us delete more lines of code.

Just another example of why you shouldn’t judge programmer productivity based on the number of lines of code they write (which Ephox has never done for the record).
