Exactly. I have recently had a few cases where I&#x27;ve rewritten bloated overly-complex js into 10% to 20% of the LOC.<p>The big benefit is the drastic complexity reduction.  Suddenly the junior developers look like superstars because they can understand it and their productivity soars.<p>I&#x27;m continually surprised at how otherwise smart engineers end up writing boated spaghetti that is &#x27;correct&#x27; at the micro level but ridiculous at the macro level. A few poorly chosen abstractions can increase the cost of development by 10x easily.
