Humour can't be factual?

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

Removing it even refactoring old code can be very therapeutic.

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

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.
