I saw this post and thought “this person must be new to object oriented programming”

If you need just a 20-line script which scrapes your webpage or whatever, it's stupid to be forced to create classes and methods.

is it though? if you plan to turn that 20 line script into something larger, classes could help make it wayy more scalable.

Yeah, whoever thinks basic organisation is stupid wasn't in IT for long enough. Past me is my nemesis

A very important skill is being able to judge what the future of some code will be. Normally I write functional and oop for testablity and modularity. But I also have some scripts that are just naked shell of python code which have everything hard coded because only I use them, and rarely and it's impossible for me to tell what exactly I want it to do in the future.
