Clean Code Function Sprawl

Remember back when we all read Clean Code and then to do one thing we wrote 25 small functions across several files instead of one 20-line function that you could look at and say "I know exactly what this function is doing"

A tweet jokes about overapplying Clean Code principles by splitting a simple task into 25 tiny functions across several files. The punchline is that excessive abstraction can make code harder to understand than one straightforward 20-line function, so people share it as a reaction to overengineering.
