Those functions get more annoying when debugging though. Because now you have to jump to the body of the function to see if it really does what it says. And you view the body out of context so it is harder to see if there is a wrong assumption between the callee and caller.

On the whole I think such functions are valuable. But they do have downsides.

Genuinely, they ate not annoying to me at all when debugging. I check whether function returned what I expected from its inputs and either look for bug there or move on.

I don't recall much jumping put and in.
