Overheard a senior dev say 'the best code is the code you delete' at a coffee shop

It was in line at a Starbucks in Tempe, and he was talking to a junior about a project. I'm not a coder, but it clicked for me that sometimes the best work is simplifying, not adding more. Anyone else have a simple piece of advice that stuck with them?

My whole business is basically deleting dirt.
