Hi Everyone!

Have you found something to declutter? Made a plan that you can implement later? What is today's decluttering win?

Open to regulars, drive by commenters, and lurkers alike!

Many wins, especially getting them Out Of The House!

I hear you on putting books in the recycling. I have several I need to make that decision on (is there really any value in coding books from the 90s? really?)

I resemble that remark, particularly with regard to antique programming books I'm not yet willing to discard. The top of one of my many bookshelves has stacks of computer books I never expect to use again - but kept. I did get rid of a handful. But why do I need most of a multi-volume series on the X-Window system? I *did* get rid of a few when I moved them out of the east-to-reach shelves, but only a few.

Ha! I don't think I have anything quite that serious, but multiple coding languages where "maybe that will be useful".

as a pro dev - most of them are probably no longer relevant (except the DOS ones, always keep the DOS ones), and your local computing museum already has a full range of O'Reilly's and Dummies Guides. I give you an internet stranger's permission to pulp them if it helps!

I don't think I have any O'Reilly's! What I know we still have are Cobol, Fortran, HTML (possibly 'The HTML Bible' or some such claim to be comprehensive) and Javascript :) Also multiple R books I'm unlikely to be able to bring myself to rehome, even if I'm never ever going to need to generate a plot from first principles in base code again.
