My teammate and I compete to see not how much code we can write, but who can have the highest sum of lines deleted in all commits. Any old hack can write a lot of code, but to remove code while still adding functionality (or at least, not removing it) is the sign of a good developer, imho.


We do that too, in our team. Reminds me of: http://delete-your-code.herokuapp.com
