Throw out your code (railsfreak.com)

Am I the only one who gets some kind of perverse pleasure from using C-k in emacs or dd in vim? There's just something so pleasing about deleting a large block of code one line at a time.

Just got done rewriting our companies stats server, that was processing logfiles with ruby...bleh. Now using Resque and a few awk scripts I cut a 2 day job down to an hour. The code was written when our logs were small now we need something faster, and just happened to be alot less code.
