   - Each function has a clear, single purpose
   - Better module organization

3. **Maintainability**
   - Centralized configuration for easier updates
   - Consistent patterns across codebase
   - Better documentation and naming

4. **Performance**
   - Optimized imports
   - Reduced code duplication
   - Better caching strategies

5. **Testability**
