How can you tell what still belongs?
None
Try this! ! Namespace everything in your next app
Give yourself a box so you can start thinking outside

Can you prove small chunks?
Growing size
Exploding complexity SIZE POSSIBLE INTERACTIONS

Slashing complexity SIZE COMPLEXITY SPLIT!
Making chunks early SIZE COMPLEXITY SPLIT!
