Ask HN: Never scroll up or down again

I want to make every screenfull of code I look at while programming discrete. I want to never scroll up or down again. To do this I make every screenfull of code its own file, and view a list of these files using emacs' list-buffers command.

What d'ya'll think? Think it'll work well, poorly, why or why not?

(Think fundamental design reasons, not language specific issues, like an excessive number of import statements in python caused by this style.)

Anybody here ever heard of somebody doing something similar?
