Honestly this itself is a massive oversimplification, and a bit of a strawman, and kinda indicates that you still aren’t seeing the nuance. Yes, if something is understandable in a single file, that’s fine. But also appreciate that too many pieces in the same file can also be confusing and disorienting for people. You also have to consider all the cases in which someone would be opening that file. You’re basically posing a situation which by its very description is an exception. If anyone is slavishly following these rules, they’re undoubtedly doing it wrong. Knowing when to apply the patterns is the hard bit. And, in my experience working on codebases worthy of considering these things in the first place, there’s much more to consider than what you’re posing.
