Simplifying doesn't have to mean fewer lines. LGTM.

Yeah, too simple is sometimes bad too. I had to refactor for better readability and it added 3k lines. But it was easier for everyone to understand the code. :)

@Matriks404

I pray that all those extra lines are comments.

Removed unreadable // Added /* */ on their own lines with fancy design above and below comments

[–] Matriks404 3 points 2 years ago

Some of them, yes.

If GitHub's UI isn't saying "infinity files changed" you're not trying hard enough.

By simply I thought you meant delete the project.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Ahh, yes, tracked eight hours of refactoring today…

I've done worse

Brought in a feature from a fork of our engine at work the other day. 8000 additions and a bunch of deletions and fix commits.

And apparently that's a pretty small merge...

Took me days just to review it.

Pov: you find an image of a coconut in your code and try to remove it

It's just code formatting, isn't it?
