> empirically Right, and our empirical observations over these topics are different. I just read your profile and frankly the projects/industries that we are involved in are very different, only confirmed by throwing "C++" out there - the closest I get to that is some hobbyist C development. I apologize for agreeing with parent comment's generalization at 100k LOC being a "mega-monolith", along with what I added with team sizes/decades for timelines. Empirically and anecdotally this is what I personally have observed, specifically in regulated fields ie: banking, payments, and education. This is a perfect example as-to what happens when I don't include the word "anecdotal" in my HN comments... Developers from different industry niches have very different ideals in regards to what a "monolith" is, or what a "two-pizza" team is capable of over time. I find your "wait what?" comment to be a bit dismissive, only to end your comment directly telling me what I am describing which clearly implies I don't know what I'm talking about. We likely just have different experiences with project complexities, sizes, teams, etc. Sorry if this comes off as aggressive.
