indeed. i am also not very good at it, but i guess better
refactoring into functions/procedures comes with more experience.
stack based languages "enforce" such an approach in order
to keep "words" short and easier to follow and understand.

but having large functions/procedures at the beginning seems
quite normal when following the procedural approach of structured
programming.

i wonder how this outdated procedural debates fit in the world
of OO ? isn't  such an outdated paradigm more the approach
only old grumpy luddites would choose voluntarily ?
