Well, I'm not saying you should discredit advice from people who haven't made great works (IE, most of us), just that it's a question you need to ask to put their commentary in perspective. Especially when someone like Uncle Bob says: "The first rule of functions is that they should be small. The second rule of functions is that they should be smaller than that. This is not an assertion that I can justify. I can’t provide any references to research that shows that very small functions are better. What I can tell you is that for nearly four decades I have written functions of all different sizes." Well, alright, in that context he's asking us to just take his word for it, but there are no tangible arguments here. Whereas Casey Muratori has a much more thoughtful exploration of this topic ( https://caseymuratori.com/blog_0015 https://caseymuratori.com/blog_0015 ), and he's also written some very excellent code (in terms of solving difficult problems and doing useful things)
