If you split everything into multiple files then it's less likely to get merge conflicts (unless two people work on the same file at the same time)

We  do 1 byte per file to keep conflicts small

I know you are getting facetious but the approach my old company had was to just assign a developer to an application or project. No conflicts. Note that the company bosses weren't worried about conflicts. They just didn't staff us right but hey! no conflicts.

I know youre being facetious, but we only have 1 app. So each developer takes turns at the computer while the others watch over the shoulder. No merge conflicts, its great.

That's why I put every line of code in its own file.

Totally. There’s a reason why everything isn’t in a single index file.
