Whitney has valid reasons to write code this way. If you look at his career, you'll understand how this is not a problem - he literally spent decades working on "one-page" programs written that way. It's not "for the lols", it's simply what he's been comfortable with for 50+ years.

He's a software developer from a different era, when individual programmers wrote tiny (by today's standard) programs that powered entire industries. So for what he's been doing his entire career, neither lack of accountability, job security, or working with teams are really applicable.
