Have you ever had AI help you you remove code?

Genuine question. Not rhetroical to make a point.

I ask it because whenever I use it claude code or anything else the codebase just seems to naturally inflate, and it'll never really suggest to you, "hey, uh, we got like 10k lines in this function...maybe that's unwieldly."

And before someone is like,"well, it won't ever suggest a thing." I've totally had it suggest ideas. It's just ideas for more other stuff, or it'll just make up new things.

@raiderrobert If I ask it precisely, yes. otherwise it's almost always net new code it suggest. (I use mostly Cursor Auto Mode)

@raiderrobert so much this 😆 it adds new code in SPADES. Whenever I use a tool like this, a significant portion of my time is in carefully ensuring that everything is actually needed.
