The beautiful irony of good software engineering: you spend hours architecting elegant helper functions, utility classes, and abstraction layers, only to end up with a main function that basically says "run()" and "exit()".
It's like building an entire factory just to press one button. But here's the thing—that massive script book contains all the actual logic, error handling, and complexity, while your main function gets to be the minimalist zen master that just orchestrates everything. Clean code principles at their finest: your main should read like poetry while your implementation looks like a legal document.
The ratio never lies though. If your main function is longer than your helper code, you're either writing a script or committing crimes against abstraction.
