Trick to keep in mind+3 XP

Count the things you release and own data for, not the lines of code you wrote.

The labels describe deployment and data ownership. One unit that ships together is a monolith, even if it is neatly organised inside. A modular monolith adds enforced internal boundaries but is still released as one piece, while services are released independently. Size and repository layout do not decide the name.

Read it once, then a question tests whether the trick stuck.
