This is a great post. Thanks for sharing. Absolutely hits the same notes.

I've used the comparison to a standard library before when arguing against helpers or utils.

If you look at a programming languages standard library (e.g. golang.org/pkg/), everything has a clear point and purpose, there's no helpers or utils, and yet the code there is for the most reuse possible.
