Streaming's self-sufficiency and per-problem isolation form a co-adapted pair: streaming requires no shared infrastructure (no preprocessing library, no external ordering mechanism, no shared data structures), making isolation costless from an algorithmic perspective; isolation removes coordination overhead and convention enforcement, making streaming's self-sufficiency the path of least resistance for every new solution — the two properties mutually stabilize each other, each making the other more viable.
Streaming needs no shared code so isolation costs nothing algorithmically; isolation rewards self-sufficiency by removing coordination friction
