Comment on monumentale
Gonzako@lemmy.world 1 day agoYeah? If something is important being able to have it all on one file is the best way to ensure you get the behaviour you want.
Having to file-hop is generally a strain on mental resources and it breaks the linearity of the project, ofuscating initial reads.
And yes, the compiler does care, there are no 0-cost abstractions.

Yesnt.
If the alternative to changing into a new file is to search through a 40k lines file that has no structure, then I rather go to a new file. As my train of thoughts is interrupted by the size of the file.
And a good compiler is capable of a lot these days. However if you are working on low end hardware that has to perform good and fast then you should of course think about the compiler.
In 99% of software that isn’t the case though
