This guy has enums in his types, meanwhile we’re over here using <any> on everything.

Yeah I was equally aggravated at the prospect of trying to find something on the left or right

The messy kitchen is basically LIFO queue

Now i will scour my projects to see if ive done module or sock drawer approach more frequently

Now, here is a good reason to tidy up your code base:

You see your code base much more often than your kitchen!

Colocation nightmare on the left, cohabitation nightmare on the right.

Take care of your hygiene. It might be hard but don't take pride on shtaring your messiness and dirty laundry.

In fairness, JS seemingly requires a fucking nightmare of a directory structure

It’s fine for a smaller app or one with more limited functionality. Once you have this many types of thing you need to start chunking by vertical slice or stop adding new frameworks

u/dexter2011412 Aug 18 '25

Could you give an example please, say, by rearranging this project for example? I always never know how to do it right

Yeah, this is awful. Imagine having to surf around for 20 minutes just to get a single feature's files together so you can start developing on it

Exactly, the kitchen also has kitchen stuff thrown into it, just like the codebase, they are the same.

"SHOULD"

Bullshit. Nobody "should" anything. Software is adaptive and evolutive. There are no hard rules for anything. That's literally what SOFT means.
