Please Stop Using Barrel Files

Is the term "Barrel file" somehow in common use? I've never heard of it (not a js dev though). I would expect some kind of "umbrella file", "public interface", "reexport facade", or something along those lines.

In my admittedly meagre frontend experience, large startup times for dev instances are terrible for my efficiency.

The worst was a spring boot app at work which would synchronously download the entire key vault, 1 secret at a time.

I switched that out to load lazily, and the app started almost instantly!

My teammates were quite happy with the new state of affairs
