Spaghetti Code (Score:2, Interesting)

One of my greatest professional pleasures is deleting code while retaining necessary behavior. Sometimes I worry someone will sit me down against a generative algorithm and ask me to refactor two similar, nasty subroutines and I'll be there the rest of my life....

  I got great satisfaction taking 30 line blocks and condensing them to 5-10 lines. I didn't get to delete anything yet with replacing it.. the code is one of these "Um, where did this variable come from?? DO I NEED IT??" works of art.
  
  I'll likely turn on warnings and stricture and work through the errors which will appear. Joy.
