Kill your Dead Code with Fire!
Working with legacy code can be very frightening sometimes. That's why most of us tend to touch as little as possible every time we need to make a change, particularly when we're removing stuff. That leads to lots and lots of "dead code" (pieces of code that are no longer needed but never removed… just in case). That piling of dead code makes debugging and maintaining systems harder and harder, and the cycle starts again…
That's why, at NextRoll, we created Hank, the Dead Code Killer.
Our latest open-source tool that you need to start using today!
OBJECTIVES:
To help developers lose the fear to delete code from large systems using Hank to help them.
