From the article, individual video segments were 2-6 MB in size and SQS and Kinesis have a 1MB limit for individual records so they couldn’t have used either service directly. At least not without breaking their segments into even smaller c

So goalpost moved from “libraries can solve visibility problem with package level visibility” to “libraries should not try to solve the visibility problem because it is not even a problem at all”?

Compare with the functionality offered by async job systems of other full stack frameworks - eg django with celery and rails with solid-queue. It’s not even close. I am on the latest version of Spring Boot.

> Many libraries can solve visibility problem with package level visibility The only way of doing this would be to put all classes in the same package. Any nontrivial library would have hundreds of classes. How is that a practical soluti

I was making exactly the point that you can use your own libraries along with a batteries included framework like Spring Boot. I don't even understand what the source of confusion is. I literally said exactly the same thing in the comm

I have a company with ~20 developers only. And already I have an ArchUnit test stating that public classes within "com.companyname.module.somepackage.internal" cannot be used anywhere outside "com.companyname.module.somepacka

The use case for modules is to have a unit of organizing code (deciding what is visible and accessible to who) at a higher level of abstraction than a package. It allows library authors to be much more explicit about what is the public API

All this because I told one guy who asked "what exactly is “cronService”? you write in each service or copy/paste each time you need it?" that they can reuse code by writing a library instead of copy/pasting it? If this

What if I told you - you can use a batteries-included framework, and still write your own libraries specifically only for things you want your own version of and want to share across projects? The problem isn't that I don't know h

Why would I write my own database driver or encryption just because I wanted to implement my own "cronService"?

Why so much hate for modules? They seem to be almost universally disliked by everyone on this thread and I don't understand why.

What Apple hardware tax? The macbook air is the best value laptop there is. If the latest version is out of the budget, you can buy older generations used. Even m1 air would be better than any windows laptop at a comparable price point.
