You're contradicting the UNIX philosophy: make programs so small that they're inherently simple (or so simple that they're necesserily small). I think that's what the other commentor meant and that does scale.
- tempodox 5y agoIt depends. Systems can display so-called emergent properties, i.e. the system's behavior is “more than just the sum of its parts”. Components that are simple in isolation can still form complex interactions. When that happens, you'll need to use the bigger guns.
