I don&#x27;t really get this: what counts as a feature? What counts as a type?<p>Let&#x27;s say you&#x27;re writing a new microservice in C# or Java, you will probably exceed 7-8 new classes&#x2F;structs&#x2F;enums&#x2F;interfaces with just boilerplate and external data model.<p>Now if you&#x27;re adding 7-8 new types for a small 1-2 week feature... yeah you should probably think twice.
