> Anyone can write clean and modular code without them, just as you could before they existed. I don't think so. There are multiple books dedicated to the topic of writing modular code, including books specialized in C++. Projects such as Qt are renowned for having adopted architectural traits that ensure they do not break compatibility even following a major version upgrade. I still see projects not respecting contracts and what not to put in the interface. I think that this belief that "anyone can write clean and modular code" contrasts with reality, and suggests a certain obliviousness regarding the problem domain.
