Throughout my career as a software engineer, and as an educator of such, I was brought up on the postulate that modularity is the holy grail of design. Software should be built in encapsulated, reusable, independent bits.

My recent experience in using software construction as a means of exploring mathematical ideas has led me to rethink this position. Not that I would like to denounce modularity, but I think I need to redefine (for myself) its boundaries and limitations.

I am looking for references, both evangelizing modular design and questioning it.

best,
