Our trainees often leave around unused variables or functions, and even non-running tests, in their submissions, including in The Piscine.
We don't currently teach anything about this, so we can't very reasonably mark people down in the Piscine if they include dead code in their projects.
We should introduce a bit of prep reading on dead code, and at least one backlog exercise which maybe takes the form "Here is some code, including some dead code - remove all of the dead code".
