A 10k loc function is just a program wrapped in a function. I find it somewhat fun to refactor those. And you're god damn right I cannot deal with this eldritch horror you architecture astronauts come up with anymore, I'll take the dumb code please :-) YAGNI + KISS >>>>> SOLID all day every day

I don't. I like to feel productive instead of having to do laundry before getting to the actual work because someone just went ahead without any regard for quality control

>YAGNI + KISS > SOLID
