Is this commandment (the code of one subroutine fitting into one screen)
an absolute rule? What about, for example, assembly-language
programming? Must I buy a bigger screen? :-)
I will admit that I do very little assembly anymore, so this wouldn't
affect me much now. I have many routines in C that take up many lines
(more than a screen). I guess I could "compress" them into fewer lines
since the language allows for that, but there goes the readability!
Personally, I fail on this point many times. Sometimes I use more
instructions than required just to make it more perspicuous what the
code is doing, but I suppose that is breaking rule #1 then!

I think the idea that is being express could be better stated. The
"rule" that the subroutine / function / method should fit on one screen
is very much dependent on the size of the monitor, the orientation
(landscape or portrait) , and the size of the font used (some of us old
farts need a BIGGER font). I think what tito was trying to say was, like
all things *nix, the method should do one things and do it well. Again,
basic principles, KISS
