Having read Clean Code back in college as it was assigned reading, it was absolutely the vibe I got from Uncle Bob generally. See any number of lines at the same indentation level, select them, extract method, name it vaguely for some part of what it does, repeat.
I honestly think that it comes from this type of school of thought that a function should be X lines rather than a function achieving a function. Thinking about this now, it's sort of the difference between "subroutines" and "functions".
Working on their code, I thank god for modern IDEs ability to inline. I often go through and restructure the code just to understand the full scope of what it's doing, before restoring what I can of the original to make my changes as minimal as possible.
