- Developer @thetreygoff reports Fable 5.1 removed 200k lines of code from one of his projects with zero regressions, and runs 10x faster.
- Another developer, @Sauers, says Fable 5.1 deleted 260k lines, calling a 33k-line removal merely "phase one."
- The thread's punchline — "THE MODELS CAN FINALLY DELETE" — jokes that coding models can now safely do large-scale code cleanup, not just write new code.
