I don't get sad when that code is deleted. I get sad when the people deleting it bash it as being "bad code", especially when they are new hires who don't know any of the context behind why that code is the way it is. Nobody wants to write "bad code", but every code base has some. Thankfully, with time and experience, developers usually mature from "who wrote this trash?" to "this code served its purpose, but we can make it better".
