Yeah, honestly overly splitting things up is worse sometimes, that's how you end up in Java land. Any time you want to grok a specific function you end up down 30 abstracted code paths. Essentially need a compiler to unroll it all to actually see what it's doing.

Java was exactly the negative use case I was thinking of. Trying to track down the flow of things for code I don't look at regularly drives me insane.
