Chris explains why removing unnecessary code is now a competitive advantage and how it can rejuvenate your development process. Listeners will gain insights into combating the "AI slop" problem, overwhelming or malicious code, through practical tactics like PR limits and standardized testing. Chris shares advice for engineering leaders on fostering a culture where developers are empowered to delete excess, not just build.
