Melvin, I obviously can't know every project out there. Let's do a
search & replace then:

*sigh*

These are modular components, which elements do you think are not being done successfully?

TLS *as an example* lets you exchange keys, and encrypt messages.  Rolled out to billions of users and devices.

Social graph storage rolled out to 100s of millions using linked data.

(Self Determined) Storage is new, but ever since we have HTTP POST and REST it's been possible in that protocol.  Plus any other protocol that lets you write can do this too.

Why cant this be done in a modular way with different teams working on different pieces and then put together.  I agree maybe not all pieces are perfect, but we cant some of us work on fixing the bugs working together?
