If it's adding that many lines, it's not refactoring. It's just adding slop.

I would think that modularizing a big block of code would have to add more lines, would it not?

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The best refactors always remove more lines than they add. This is a horrifying ratio if no new features were included.

Strange, I always add lines to make it more cohesive, SoC, DRY, and generalized so it is easily extensible.

In a ratio of 60:1 lines added:removed?

[–] mcv@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, adding that many lines does not sound like a cleanup to me. Unless it's mostly adding unit tests.
