This article is absolute humdrum. Functions are not the atoms of programs. We now have classes, lambdas, generators, events, streams, etc.

There are ways to organize code without sticking every little one time used code into a function.

Poor article by a pseudo computer scientist. Let him keep 'hacking.'

I don't recall the article insinuating that classes/lambdas/etc don't exist, only that you can break up long functions into smaller functions. Also these functions are already presumably within a class, since Martin Fowler writes a lot about Java.
