I worked with a developer at <household ecommerce company> whose main claim to fame was that she'd deleted more features than she'd added. We need more people like her.


eBay has deleted a lot of features that made my life better. There was no replacement -- things just suck more, now.


Delete code yes, features only if obnoxious.


What? No. Not if people used those features and found them valuable.


You're right. Dead or dying features that were bloating up the rest of the codebase, I should say.


I made a career of fixing broken things.
