IYYM you can build modularised code without it. Sure , sometimes, so long as
the modules don't have varying compilation dependencies. But then you end up
rebuilding everything.

The stone age is where they used one huge source file for a program.

Listen sonny, in large projects in companies - ie not the toy code you work
on in your bedroom - different people will have checked out seperate modules
and be working on them at any one time. Thats a lot simpler than having one
huge source file that then has a boatload of merge issues when a dozen people
all try to check their changes back in.

You're either fucking stupid or an incredibly successful troll.

When you get a dev job in the real world get back to me.
