Entirely different take on writing maintainable code.

I always thought that developers who deleted existing code are better developers. This article takes that thought process to a 'logical next step'

Quote from the article

If we see ‘lines of code’ as ‘lines spent’, then when we delete lines of code, we are lowering the cost of maintenance. Instead of building re-usable software, we should try to build disposable software.

Your thoughts ?
