Code Review is about writing good, efficient and maintainable code. Not always all three at once, but those are the main goals.

Both code-size-optimization and minification should not exist on Code Review in my opinion. Both tags are subtle guides towards a phenomena known as Code Golf. Code Golf is explicitly off-topic according to the help center. The tags are often misused and its very existence is an act of war on maintainable code.

The only use-case it has is already covered with embedded (minimize usage of everything). Another possibility are web-scripts, but whatever can be fixed on those is often done by removing needless repetition (Don't Repeat Yourself: dry).

Currently no questions are tagged with minification. 6 questions exist for code-size-optimization. I request both tags to be burninated after re-tagging.

In immediate response to:

• Reduce the length of simple C++ code without taking care of performance
• (for those with not enough rep)
