"Putting the You in CPU" - a 16,000 word dive into how CPUs run programs, is out! I'm 17 and worked with @hackclub to write the guide I wish I had. it spiraled from a rabbit hole into a mini-book with kinda adorable illustrations. I hope you love it!👇

Putting the "You" in CPU

Curious exactly what happens when you run a program on your computer? Learn how multiprocessing works, what system calls really are, how computers manage memory with hardware interrupts, and how...

I think the little-spoken thing in this debate is, yes, brain load is valuable and making lots of little functions *in theory* reduces code reading. But then you need to provide enough detail in docs/names to figure out what the funcs do! Or you end up reading them anyways. 1/3

IMO the ancient heuristic of "split out functions when code will be reused" is GREAT. And then scatter your code with single-line (and some multi-line) comments when needed to clarify code that's harder to scan. 3/3

For logic-heavy code that usually means you have to painstakingly document in plaintext what the function does. That can be worse to read than the code itself. (And hot take: not having to jump around is valuable and there are other ways besides functions to split up code.) 2/3
