Everything is an API

" summary

Argues that everything is an API: every internal module, function and test should be designed as a stable interface, favoring interface composition and composition over inheritance, small surfaces, immutability and single responsibility. Recommends Kotlin idioms (suspend, infix, receivers), deprecation + replaceWith, requiresOptIn and a technical-debt annotation. Promotes modularization and concurrent compilation to speed builds (projects can reach hundreds of modules) and tooling like Gradle Enterprise / gradle scan and the build cache to find and fix slow or misconfigured builds.
