    Lines of separation are bad? I like adding a few empty lines to denote a different logical section so it’s easier for me to read back later :c

      One line is fine if used wisely, everybody does it for readability. The issue is when you need more than one.

      The idea is that often you could be using actual logical separations (functions etc.) instead of whitespace. IMO whitespace has its place though, including for this.

        uhh seen this shit with some rewrites with no regards to your code being idiomatic to the point of it all feeling almost verbatim. Like some PHP devs getting confused by the lack of classes in Go and instead of using method receivers and composition over inheritance creating one 250-line behemoth public function to replace a PHP class.

          Oh no

          At work I’m currently trying to chop up a 3500 line file into multiple components… separation of concerns, people! To be fair it’s like the oldest one we have so there’s a lot of cruft in there.
