Many people underestimate the importance of deleting unnecessary code, it still has to be read and understood. xitter.gq/paulg/status/788803863…
Unnecessary code is not as harmless as I used to think. It sends the misleading signal that it's necessary.

Actually, your *team* ruins your codebase, or your *team* creates an awesome codebase. Junior, senior - doesn't matter - a team is a unit and the whole blame-shifting thing is demoralising BS. No code reviews? No mentoring? There's a bigger problem than an inexperienced junior.

Being pragmatic is good, saying you're being pragmatic to excuse bad practice is not so good

#edgeconf IMO if your site prioritizes ads OVER web perf so you can make money, that's a failed strategy that won't sustain.
