Keep code clean and maintainable by removing unnecessary elements that add complexity without value: 1. Remove unused header includes that increase compile times 2. Delete commented-out code blocks - use version control to track alternatives 3. Eliminate redundant checks and validations 4. Clean up duplicate definitions Example of code to avoid: ```cpp #include // Unnecessary include // Commented out alternative implementation // void alternativeFunction() { // ... // } // Redundant checks TORCH_CHECK(a_tensors.dtype() == torch::kFloat8_e4m3fn, "A tensors must be of type float8_e4m3fn."); TORCH_CHECK(a_tensors.dtype() == torch::kFloat8_e4m3fn); // Duplicate check ``` Instead, keep only the essential, active code elements and rely on version control for tracking alternatives.
