SHOULD YOU AVOID BARREL FILES FOR BETTER CODEBASE CONSISTENCY AND PERFORMANCE?

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Avoiding barrel files can prevent issues like circular imports and improve development speed by reducing unnecessary module loading. Consistency in file organization can be enforced by lint rules like `import/no-cycle`. A single casing format for filenames is useful for team style guides. While barrel files may be necessary for libraries, they often complicate application code and should be avoided.
