Ever since seeing Eileen Uchitelle's RailsWorld 2024 talk, I've struggled with the feeling that discussions of modularity are hampered by a lack of consensus on basic terms.
I wrote a few articles to help sort out my thoughts. The third one is probably the most applicable. https://rossney.net/articles/good-boundaries-make-good-systems/
I'm not writing as an expert or any kind of authority, but I sure would enjoy being part of a conversation that promotes clarity around this topic. Please boost.

"With FP, you don't need all those GoF patterns" is one of the more ridiculous claims I hear semi-regularly.
You can "just wing it" and ignore design patterns in OO, too.
You might end up with code that's good. If you do, though, you'll find GoF patterns reflected in your code.
