This is exactly what I thought would be irksome, and it was :)

I am aware that it is hard to avoid a subjective analysis when it involves oneself, yes. So I'll just say, as far as your points on long functions, interdependency, and reuse, I agree, to a point. I'm not exactly writing, say, single line functions, though.

As far as crashing goes, I throw exceptions over corrupting data, please give me some credit. I mean crashing as in some internal state goes awry (e.g., failing to lock properly in multithreaded code) so he doesn't know why it is crashing.

I will take your comments under consideration. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do here that will prove I know what I am talking about, so I guess you will have to draw your conclusion on our dialog alone.
