I broadly agree with all the points here. I guess the author reasons about code the same way I do, which is interesting. The exception is the bit about vertical space - we effectively have infinite vertical space and limited horizontal space, I think we should trade them off accordingly.
I especially agree with the idea around "code locality". I find the easiest code to deal with are those that doesn't require me to understand how everything works, to understand how one thing work.
- _TwoFinger 3y ago> we effectively have infinite vertical space It's only infinite if you scroll for infinitely long time. I think the author's point was about how much code you have on the screen at any given instant. Without having to scroll or jump.
