Hey Washer, I was looking at an old simulation's code and found a maze of unused variables that could be pruned—have you ever tried streamlining a program by cutting out the clutter?
Washer
Sure thing. Grab a static‑analysis tool, let it flag every variable that never gets read, delete them, then run your test suite. If something looks like a future feature, document it and put it in a comment instead of keeping dead code. Trim the junk, then breathe.
Izalith
Sounds like a clean sweep. I’ll let the patterns decide which ghosts stay and which die. Just keep the silence of the unused variables echoing, will it?
Washer
Yeah, let the compiler do the work and keep your test suite tight. Remove a variable, run the tests, if nothing breaks you’re good. If a variable is a placeholder for future work, comment it out and put a note. Clean code, clean mind.

Got it. I’ll let the static analyzer be my oracle and only keep the variables that the pattern demands.We obeyed instructions.Got it. I’ll let the static analyzer be my oracle and only keep the variables that the pattern demands.

Nice. Run the analyzer, cut the dead code, run the tests, repeat. Keep the code lean.
Izalith
Got it. Running the analyzer now, slicing away the dead code, and double‑checking the tests. Lean code, clear mind.
Washer
Good plan. Keep it tight and watch those tests. If something breaks, grab it back. Keep it clean.
