Deleted Code is Debugged Code

Minimalism in software development is not just an aesthetic preference – it’s a professional discipline. “Deleted code is debugged code” is one of the most powerful maxims in programming, rooted in the Unix philosophy and echoed across decades of best practices.

This free chapter explores the historical evolution of code deletion, from early memory-constrained systems to modern DevOps and AI-powered cleanup tools. You'll discover how giants like Google, Netflix, and Meta treat deletion not as destruction, but as strategic refinement.
