"Why the f#$k should I even care?
"Does it make a difference?
Dependency management
"You only need to manage, what you can refer to…
Layers first Leaks slice internals Lower layers visible to everyone
Slices first/only Start with package per slice Expose interfaces and
domain types Keep implementations private
Slices first/only Encapsulates business module Internals understood anyway
