"Microservices is the software industrys most successful confidence scam. It convinces small teams that they are thinking big while systematically destroying their ability to move at all. It flatters ambition by weaponizing insecurity: if youre not running a constellation of services are you even a real company Never mind that this architecture was invented to cope with organizational dysfunction at planetary scale. Now its being prescribed to teams that still share a Slack channel and a lunch table. Small teams run on shared context. That is their superpower. Everyone can reason end-to-end."

"I've written a version of this rant several times but I didn't write this version. This prompt did: "Write a X paragraph essay in the style of DHH about why microservice architectures are bad for small teams." I followed up with 2x "Make it more polemic" but I didn't change a comma. The emdashes gave it away for some but without those I think even fewer would have been able to tell. And here's the kicker: It's actually pretty good Take this point: "Instead of reasoning about code teams reason about failure modes retries timeouts message queues and versioned payloads. The cognitive load"
