title: What is the latest recommendation on method max lines?
body: <p>In the past years, I read more and more texts on beautiful code which recommend limiting the number of lines in some method.</p>
  
  <p>Some say that the method should fit in 1 screen (did not say what screen size thou), the other say it should be max 40 lines, the third ones say it does not matter as long as it's easy to follow, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Now, this becomes too confusing to follow. What is the latest recommendation on the maximum lines a method should have?</p>
