Is SMS is less secure than not having 2FA at all?

It's crazy that being in Asia, it's normal for me to wake up to news of another mass shooting in the US.

@handstandsam I think this is the modularization talk by @alec that @ZacSweers mentioned.

Exploring Dynamic Feature Modules

Exploring Dynamic Feature Modules Dynamic Feature Modules were announced in 2018 as a new way to modularize and deliver Android apps. It presents a way to decouple features entirely from one another, and avoid a “monoapp” which depends on all code in one place. It has benefits to compile times, app installation size, and enables instant apps - but the feature has had little buzz since then, unknown adoption, and seemingly goes unmaintained now.

Would it ever make sense to extract 99% of the code out of an app and put it in a library module named :monolith instead?

This has gone through my head a few times, and I know a lot of reasons why this is probably a bad idea, but are there any good reasons?
