I don't necessarily agree with "one thing only". At least, for things that start simple and grow as needed, I split things into functions either to not have to copy and paste the same code, or for readability/structure purpose. But not out of principle and always, until I can't divide any further. I can still split things out into functions later, should I need it, but doing it "just in case" and then not even having a use for it doesn't save me time and just adds overhead.
Though it also depends on whether I'm doing something familiar or something new, if I'm doing something new I might split things up more to help me conceptualize the problem. But when I'm just making a quick CLI tool, I might put it all in main first and only split it up as needed.
