On the tactical level, absolutely. But the poster child at a more system-wide strategic level is the classic bogeyman of a Java codebase ruled by XML config and dependency injection of overly-abstract components. And many parts of our codebases remain rigidly hierarchical, like trees of UI components. What would it take for us to be able to deliver new features as a completely independent vertical slice? Micro frontends get some of the way there, perhaps?
