I Love Monoliths Also This Is Not Satire

I Love Monoliths Also This Is Not Satire
Someone just casually dropped the most UNHINGED take in software architecture history and got 21 people to agree with them. "Keep everything in a single file for highest quality code" is the kind of chaotic energy that makes senior engineers weep into their keyboards at 3 AM. The absolute AUDACITY to claim that shoving your entire codebase into one massive file is peak engineering because "you know everything is in one place" – yeah, just like how a hoarder knows everything is in one house! Sure, you know where it is... somewhere in those 50,000 lines of spaghetti code between the authentication logic and that random TODO comment from 2019. This is the architectural equivalent of putting all your groceries in one giant bag and calling it "organized" because at least you only have to carry one thing. Separation of concerns? Modularity? Never heard of her! We're going full medieval monolith style – one giant stone block of code that future developers will need archaeological tools to decipher.

You know what? This person just absolutely demolished the entire Electron apologist community with a single sentence. The logic is flawless and devastating. Sure, Electron "works on all platforms" because you're literally shipping an entire Chromium browser with your 2KB todo app. That's like saying a sledgehammer is the best tool for everything because it technically works on all types of nails. Yeah, it works. Your RAM just cries itself to sleep every night. The comparison is chef's kiss level savage because it highlights how "technically correct" doesn't mean "good" or even "acceptable." Just because something functions universally doesn't make it the right choice. Native apps exist for a reason, folks. But hey, at least we can write JavaScript everywhere now, right? Right?
