/fee`ch@rekt@mee/ , n. The act of removing a feature from a program.
|
|
|
|
|
Featurectomies come in two flavors, the righteous and the reluctant.
|
|
|
|
|
Righteous featurectomies are performed because the remover believes the
|
|
|
|
|
program would be more elegant without the feature, or there is already an
|
|
|
|
|
equivalent and better way to achieve the same end. (Doing so is not quite
|
|
|
|
|
the same thing as removing a misfeature. ) Reluctant featurectomies are
|
|
|
|
|
performed to satisfy some external constraint such as code size or execution
|
|
|
|
|
speed.
