Look, this will make the git history look funny, but trimming unnecessary depth from the source tree is a very necessary sanity-preserving measure when dealing with a super-modularized codebase like this one. While it makes the project configuration a bit less conventional, it will save you several clicks every time you jump between modules. Which you'll do a lot, because it's *modul*ar. The src/main/java convention makes a lot of sense for a non-modular project though. This ain't that.

In a near future, a team of desktop computer designers are looking at the latest telemetry and updating the schematics of the hardware-as-a-service self-assembling nanohardware.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Steve: "Hmm, they don't seem to be using the power button very often."<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Bob: "Compared to the other buttons, it's only used 0.1% of the time"<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Steve: "Remove it?"<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Bob: "Remove it!"<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Computers now instantly boot up when plugged into the wall, and run until the plug is pulled. No more start-up time, the cases are aesthetically cleaner, and manufacturing cost is down at least a fraction of a dollar. <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Confident with this success, they turn their attention to the keyboard.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Steve: "Have you noticed that most letters the users type are lower case? Only in rare instances are they in upper case!"<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Bob: "Hmm, but sometimes it may be useful to write in upper case too."<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Steve: "Let's compromise and put the shift and capslock keys in a little hatch on the back of the keyboard for a test group, maybe that's enough for the power users. That will clean up the keyboard design for everyone else..."<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Bob: "Done! And deployed!"<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
this is just great, who is going to bother turning their keyboard over just to write an upper case letter?<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
steve: "now the usage has dropped to 0.000001% in the test group! see, nobody needs those keys!"<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
bob: "wow! you were right, let's push a patch immediately to remove them for everyone!"<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
steve: "now i'm looking at the punctuation, they're also a lot more rare than the letters"<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
bob: "put them in the hatch on the back?"<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
steve: "sure"<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
alright i guess this is how it is now xxxx we'll adapt<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
steve xxx you know im looking at these letter distributions and most letters seem to be in the group xxx etaoinshrdlu xxx <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
bob xxx youre right xxx who knew two thirds of the alphabet was redundant xxx imagine how clean the keyboard would be with less than twenty keys<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
steve xxx i wanna xxx lets just do it<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
bob xxx the design is going to be so minimalist and clean after this xxx not even jobs thought this far outside the box<br>
