Did anyone else think this was satire for the first few minutes of reading it?
Calling databases global state and arguing why they shouldn’t be used was ridiculous enough that I wanted to call Poe’s Law here.
But it does look like the author was sincere. Event Sourcing is one of those cool things that seem great in theory but in my experience I’ve never seen it actually help teams produce good software quickly or reliably.
