But not everybody codes “at scale”. If you have a small, stable team, there is a lot less to worry about.

Secondly it is often better to start with less abstractions and boundaries, and add them when the need becomes apparent, rather than trying to remove ill conceived boundaries and abstractions that were added at earlier times.

Coding at scale is not dependent on the number of people, but on the essential complexity of the problem. One can fail at a one-man project due to lack of proper abstraction with a sufficiently complex problem. Like, try to write a compiler.
