In a modular design connections are deliberately kept to a minimum.
The cost for the first feature is likely to be higher than in the
connected system, because you need to find the necessary resources
and bring them together, possibly re-modularizing in the process.
Features are much less likely to interact in a modular system, though,
leading to a steady stream of features at relatively constant cost.
