BTW, I think sometimes is ok to have inline code with a comment of what the extracted function name would have been. --- Also, by coding using his TPP helped me gain confidence on figuring out complex algorithms. For example, he explains how writing a sort algorithm went from bubble sort to quick sort (I think) by following the TPP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_Priority_Premise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_Priority_Premis... --- Lastly, as I have a few projects that I can't even run dev on them, because their deps are too outdated, I try to keep deps at a minimum. e.g. I have a custom minifyCSS that minifies ~85% compared to other minifiers, but it's super simple in comparison. https://github.com/uxtely/js-utils/blob/main/minifyCSS.js https://github.com/uxtely/js-utils/blob/main/minifyCSS.js
