It's incredibly satisfying when you're adding a new feature to a program and by the time you're done the SLOC is 300 less than when you started.

  2. "Negative productivity" is the term we jokingly use for that at work. I tried to explain that to my boss, but he simply didn't get it.

  3. Accidentally I worked in the last few days to eliminate ~2000 lines of code in our libraries :-D . Not that much of an achievement in 600K code, but small progress.
    In the last year did better - eliminated ~3.5 mln. lines of code, by converting to generics, anonymous methods, and attribute based programming :-) . Boy, that was something :-)
