Eliminate unnecessary code elements that add complexity without providing value. This includes removing redundant function wrappers, unnecessary type annotations, singleton classes that could be simple objects, explicit type conversions where implicit ones suffice, and methods that duplicate existing functionality.

Examples of unnecessary code to remove:

Before adding new abstractions, consider if existing functionality can be reused. Before adding type annotations, verify they provide meaningful type safety beyond what TypeScript can infer. This reduces cognitive overhead and makes code more maintainable by focusing on essential logic rather than ceremonial code.
