I would really like to send this article out to all the developers in my small company (only 120+ people, about 40 dev & test) but the political path has been chosen and the new shiny tech has people entranced.
What we do (physics simulation software) doesn’t need all the complexity (in my option as a long time software developer & tester) and software engineering knowledge that splitting stuff into micro services require.
Only have as much complexity as you absolutely need, the old saying “Keep it simple, stupid” still has a lot of truth.
But the path is set, so I’ll just do my best as an individual contributor for the company and the clients who I work with.
