DoLess

Sometimes programmmer-studs get competitive:

:"I can do that in 20 lines of C."

:"Yeah? Well, I can do it in 5 lines of Perl."

:"Hey, I can do it in 2 lines of Haskell!"

But the best win in coding — fewest lines, fastest execution — is to figure out how not to do something at all. (It's the ultimate in "lazy evaluation".)

There's an Extreme Programming (XP) aphorism attributed to Ron Jeffries:
:"Unless your universe is very different from mine, you can't save time. You can only do less."

The challenge is to figure out what to do less of, e.g.:
