Ok, I like the idea and support that seniors value simplicity ... but how the hell do you stay employed for even a month (let alone until "manager time") without writing any code?
I find it’s less common for me in ruby, even refactoring bad ruby. Sure I can remove lines but bad JS/React balloons so fast.
My current org values this and my direct boss constantly praises those of us that try to remove more lines than we add. Very refreshing.
