> do people still advise that kind of design? It is a constant discussion. You can always find examples of long functions with lots of state which is hard to follow and then there are always examples of code where people went too short. And then there are always people taking any of those examples and showing why they were wrong. I myself like going to the extremes for fun/toy/throwaway projects (not only on these but also with rules like "no `if`" or "no raw `for` loop" etc) to try out all the different alternatives and then resetting my default based on cases where it went well and where it went bad. No such rule is always right, but most hmstem from being exposed to too much of one extreme.
