Honestly, I just figured out why my code kept breaking after 50 lines. My instructor said 'you're not using functions, you're just writing one long script' and it clicked.

Wait, you wrote fifty lines without a single function? That's wild, man. My brain hurts just picturing that mess. Like @the_oscar said, it seems like overkill until you're stuck fixing the same bug in ten different spots. You'd have to change every single line by hand instead of just fixing the function once. No wonder your code kept breaking.

Used to think that was overkill too.

What changed your mind, @the_oscar? I still see it as pretty necessary most of the time.
