John Carmack on Inlined Code (2014)
I have had the pleasure to work with lots of other people's code of varying styles and quality.  Nothing is harder to read and understand than code which is deeply nested calls from one little helper (or wrapper) function to another.  Nothing is easier to read and understand than code which just flows straight through from top to bottom of a big function.<p>There are other tradeoffs of code reuse and speed and worst-case-speed and probability of introducing bugs.  If you haven't read the article, do, its worth it.<p>I love that Carmack tries to measure which styles introduce more bugs!  Who else does that?  Seriously, I would love to see more of that.
