have had this argument for library code
I have met a style of programmer who thinks, on some level, that generally reusable code is unsafe -- like the `sum` function (stupid reductive example) is not okay unless it has a bunch of business logic restricting the range of the numbers and takes a logger just in case, and the function name is eight words describing exactly what's happening, and the base and the mantissa have different types
and you end up with no general code anywhere because reusability is not even an afterthought, it is counter to the project
if you've never met this person I sound insane but I swear they exist
