This is always hardest in the beginning. At the start of any project, it feels wasteful to separate every bit of functionality into its own, self-contained project, including the necessity to implement a standard I/O model for it. But as the project advances? I'm usually cursing myself for writing code that does two or three things, because suddenly it needs to be configured to do a slightly different 2 or 3 things, and before you know it I don't even know why I wrote the damn thing in the first place.
