This video was recorded at Code BEAM V EU 2021 - https://codesync.global/conferences/code-beam-sto-2021/ Kill your Dead Code with Fire! | Brujo Benavides - Software Engineer at NextRoll ABSTRACT 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.
