"Multirepo" is the term I see the most

> My previous job was doing microservices for frontend and current job is doing monorepos. I prefer monorepo for frontend because:
I think you're misusing the term "monorepo", no? Monorepo is just a technique for organizing source control repositories. It's possible to have microservices AND monorepos.
You're probably thinking of "monolith".

Nope. Not even for safe (image, music, etc) files.
And even if I had, PKG files don't install themselves on macOS, they open the installer interface, AFAIK.
EDIT: And, as I mentioned, the file was downloaded by some Zoom client, not by my browser.

I think I found out: there's a daemon process that I somehow missed the first time around.
Deleting the .app file as instructed is not enough.
This StackExchange reply [1] showed me how to solve it, at least on macOS.

This is weird, I had Zoom installed a long time ago but uninstalled according to their instructions [1]. I'm a macOS user.
As soon as I clicked that link, the client downloaded a PKG file, installed itself and launched itself without asking me if I wanted to share my camera or audio.
I uninstalled according to their instructions again, searched for all "zoom" files in my disk and rebooted.
This leads me to believe that following their uninstall instructions is insufficient, and there are hidden files left on my computer.
Sorry in advance for the off topic message

Avoiding the use of reduce/fold is a good thing even in teams with more experience in functional programming.
The problem is not reduce itself, it's the code that uses it.

> After a year or so of trial and error, we have pretty much stopped using reduce
I see Reduce (along with recursion itself) as the equivalent of a "low-level" construct in functional programming.
It is a great building block for other functions like sum/product, and even those demonstrated in the article, but not something that programmers should be using everyday.
I think it's very appropriate to have a rule to only use reduce (and recursion too!) inside "utility" libraries.

> For instance, Safari doesn't allow localstorage while in incognito
It does allow (at least in the version I'm using), but doesn't persist the data between sessions. Which is the whole point of Icognito mode.

IME the thing that matters the most is focus, both on the micro and macro level. It's way too easy to get caught on things that won't make an iota of difference in your future. Focus is the first thing that goes out the window as soon a a company reach just a bit of momentum.
I've seen several startups suffering from not being able to decide what they were. Engineering teams fractured because the company wanted half of them working on their bottom line and the other half working in some offshoot product.
Even gigantic companies need that: notice how people criticize Google for creating and killing way too many products, and at the same time praising their minimalist webpage (since 1998), early GMail, etc. Same with Apple when Jobs returned to Apple and streamlined their product line, etc.
