I'm just amazed you used notepad++ for 25k lines! On a more serious note I would definitely echo the mentality you are promoting here. I've gotten stuck in my ways using certain Data Science tools at times, but when I make the switch to a better tool, I never regret it in the long run.
Nice article!

I tell computers what to do. Sometimes they listen.
The project started small then I just kept adding functions to it. I do a LOT of scrolling to find the part I am working on.
The project is a digital clock that plays video games on various size LED screens (8x8, 16x16, 64x32) and there is a lot of duplicated code.
I have been tidying it up and moving functions into a "common function" python script, but it takes time.
