      Once you move past a couple thousand LOC, you’ll appreciate having an easily modifiable, modular design you had the foresight to plan out.

      Or you can just trawl through thousand of lines of unstructured spaghetti code trying to figure out where to shoehorn your new feature in like a QBasic/Arduino kid.
