I was this dev early in my career. A sharp overreaction to a giant ball of mud architecture with no tests and minimal consistency. I read all those books looking for some better way and inflicted all those rules on people. I don't regret the learning, but I do regret being dogmatic. It was interesting that no one around me knew better either way, or felt they could provide reasonable mentorship, so we went too far with it. These days I write the pizza function on the left, and use comments sparingly where they add context and reasoning.
