Is this commandment (the code of one subroutine fitting into one screen) an absolute rule? What about, for example, assembly-language programming? Must I buy a bigger screen? :-) I will admit that I do very little assembly anymore, so this wouldn't affect me much now. I have many routines in C that take up many lines (more than a screen). I guess I could "compress" them into fewer lines since the language allows for that, but there goes the readability! Personally, I fail on this point many times. Sometimes I use more instructions than required just to make it more perspicuous what the code is doing, but I suppose that is breaking rule #1 then!
