My friend, let me tell you a story during my studies when I had to help someone find a bug in their 1383-line long main() in C… on the other hand I think Ill spare you from the gruesome details, but it took me 30 hours.

Case in point, actually. Whenever I'm forced to write a giant function, I always get nervous because it could be crawling with bugs that I have little hope of spotting.
