I can see the devops argument, but using a modular component model in React, we can create data flows and contracts between components that isolate any functionality we need to with equal effectiveness, and if even one critical portion of the app fails, it becomes unusable. Using this pattern would not change the core structure of how it operates, but greatly complicate implementing the same design. | |

If time were not a factor, I'd not be so concerned about this becoming a constant source of uncertainty and tension. Ultimately they're workplace arguments, but driven by concerns about the tech side.. | |
