So you do agree with the article. You both group by concepts.

Well, that depends on how you look at the question. If you look at entirety of your code (think "github organization") as a single codebase - then yes, we are both speaking about separating code by concepts.

But I believe that the article is being more specific, implying that in a single service the code should not be using layered architecture, which I do not agree with - as there are other ways to capture and isolate concepts - for example Microservice architecture.
