On: What I learned in 2017 writing Go

That's not always true, the best cases for inlining one-use functions is when you don't introduce new local variables.

I've seen 1k LoCs functions that were incredibly easy to understand, and 10 liners that were complete gibberish messes.

I do however agree that declaring new variables every 10 lines over hundreds of lines would be hell to follow.
