Guidelines for building scripts

Convert duplicate subroutines into independent scripts

If you have duplicated subroutines in different scripts, convert it into an independent script and change the subroutine call into a script call. Removing the subroutine duplication makes it easier to change the subroutine code: whenever you have to apply changes, you won't need to change every script with the duplicated subroutine.
