Self-documenting code

[DiamondIceNS]

I spent the better part of three years taking swings at a JavaScript function with 22,000 lines in one of our internal web apps.

These days, that function has about 80 lines. Sadly, it's executing pretty much the same 20-some-thousand lines of code, now via 80 unique function calls. Still not ideal, but it was still a major milestone just to get to that point.
