A large project is a poorly decoupled set of small projects.

True, once my libraries get bigger than five or six assembly instructions, I tend to break them down to a more manageable size.

Meanwhile real-world non-trivial projects tend to be large projects.

Nice to be prepared for that instead of gambling on "surely we'll extract out smaller projects that fall on the right abstraction boundaries in the face of unknown future requirements."
