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
Effect of structure VS

Slashing complexity SIZE COMPLEXITY SPLIT!
Making chunks early SIZE COMPLEXITY SPLIT!
Net win? SIZE COMPLEXITY SPLIT! $ $
You’re going to do it often SIZE DOUBLE SPLIT! COMPLEXITY
