12:00 - 12:30, 27th of May (Tuesday) 2025 / DEV ARCHITECTURE STAGE
Is your codebase so tangled that even adding a simple console.log feels like performing open-heart surgery on Frankenstein’s monster? In this talk, we’ll explore proven ways to declutter and streamline your web projects. From detecting and pruning leftover JavaScript you thought you “might need someday,” to simplifying logic with modern browser features, catching unused imports, and removing old polyfills that are only collecting dust, you’ll learn practical tips and tools that make your code cleaner, simpler, and far less error-prone. We’ll also show how to remove colossal dependencies and other hidden gremlins so your codebase stays lean. At the end of the day, fewer lines really do mean fewer headaches—so let’s cut the bloat and get back to coding without a scalpel in hand!
