I fully agree with the idea but disagree with the… submission to the norms.

We rarely talk about it and it’s also the constant source of teamwork issues. Look, if our code needs structure to be observable, it lacks structure in the first place.

Languages and editing methods — not talking IDEs here, it’s more fundamental — are still “empty file canvas, paint anything” model. That must be stopped.

These structural issues are analogous to malformed xml issues. They should not exist normally. We could start with e.g. better isolation/visibility systems than “files with exports”, then address lack of annotated TOCs for projects and modules. Then replace files with something more database-like. Theeen we could talk about someone breaking a nice structure. Because this structure only exist in a human’s mind, blindness only serving as a bitter “equalizer” to it.
