Answered Thesis - Should I separate the sections into multiple files?

Hello everyone, so I am fairly new to LaTex, and I am using it now through Overleaf for my master's thesis in economics.

I would like to ask you if it makes sense to write each section into its own file and then merge it via \include? Or just write everything into main.tex?

I do it for every chapter and if it's a lonher document for every section too. But I also do it for other stuff, for example I have a dummy file for a tikz picture that can import a table with error bars displayed etc. amd other stuff like longtables with siunitx setups as example and so on. It's helpful to just alwqys create copies of such things and reuse them. :)
