When adding new features, it's likely you'll be adding code.<\/p>\n\n

If you're refactoring code, you may have less code than before.<\/p>\n\n

It's not true that having fewer lines of code means the code is better, but having less code makes it easier to maintain and more secure.<\/p>\n\n

You don't need to upgrade and maintain code that you aren't using, so why not remove it?<\/p>\n\n

Why have old TODO comments, dd()<\/code>, var_dump()<\/code> or console.log()<\/code> functions in the code?<\/p>\n\n

If they're not used, they can be removed.<\/p>\n\n

I recently read a post that suggested there were 5 to 10 bugs in each 1,000 lines of production code as a general rule, so the less code there is, the fewer places there are for bugs to hide.<\/p>\n\n
