I have a habit of doing this for data processing code (python, polars).

For other code it's an absolute stink and i agree. But for data transforms... I've seen the alternative, a neatly abstracted in-house library of abstracted combinations of dataframe operations with different parameters and.. It's the most aesthetically pleasing unfathomable hell I've ever experienced.

So now, when munging dataframes, i will be much faster to reach for 'copy that function and modify it slightly' - maintenance headache, but at least the result is readable.
