    How can people go past 100? I usually keep it below 20-25 unless I have a switch statement or something but 1000 hurts my head

    it defines inner functions that cannot be easily extracted because global state is everywhere. it can be done it's just a pain.

    The words "global state is everywhere" made me crash my car in to a tree with horror. And I wasn't in the car when I read it.

    Good luck, +1 for the rant :)

    @hitripekac I feel your pain! Evidently someone didn't take "code as if the person maintaining your code is a violent psychopath that knows where you live" seriously

    @askerr Average js file at my work is 2-3k lines... The only way of finding things is by doing a search all. :-s
