Given inflation, current estimates put the cost of a 4 year degree at about 180k in 2040, so not an unreasonable savings estimate. That number is both available from online estimates as well as what my own financial planner gave me when discussing my daughter's college fund

Yeah I was pulling Samsung from an article I found discussing the issue, not specifically your comment. It said that those system APIs only responded to Google or Samsung made apps, but that was from like 2021 tbf

Sure, but isn't that just complaining that Google runs the largest implementation of RCS? It would've been great if this was handled by carriers, but they never would pick up the task so Google just did it inhouse. I think if they hadn't rcs would just be dead by now (for better or worse)

Testability for one, but I would also argue that those functions are there for using. If some block of logic is sufficient to stand on its own, it should. I'm not saying do it arbitrarily, but it's been my experience that small functions lead to more readable code and better testing. Most people write a 15 line function treating it as if it does a single thing when in reality it's doing two or three discrete operations

Well named functions, called in succession increase readability, not decrease.
