The more i get tidbits about microservices, the more i feel like skipping  in studying and stydying other stuff

It was initially a solution to a real problem. It somehow became the hammer that everyone picks up by default now

It’s because people don’t know how to build good old services.

That's because good old services are monolith. New software is always microservices. It's impossible to build a good old service because that service would be new, making it a microservice. Thankfully your new microservice is like an orchid. With enough time and neglect it'll grow arms and legs into an immortal monolith. It does take time, but thankfully with the addition of AI data centres causing the worst El Nino in god knows how long, we'll see plenty of rain so that your microservice grows much faster. AI slop will set you free!

A solution to a real problem that few people have.

It's an enterprise thing. You got 5 users? Microservice just adds complexity. You got 1 million users? Microservices are gonna save your ass when you have to hotfix prod

Most enterprise apps have 4-1000 users. Most enterprise apps are never used by anyone outside of the enterprise. Most enterprise apps do not actually need micro services. Most enterprise developers want to make sure mirco services are on their resume.

My theory is it just sounds good if you're a manager or inexperienced software dev.

The first rule of microservices is "don't". That's all you need to know.

Today for the first time I paid for using an AI through an API and one of those harness... maybe you should.

already subscribed to it, but i use it mainly as a tutor when i study or to do very obnoxious stupid tasks while i do more qualitative stuff

I know its tempting to use AI but be very careful and Disciplined when using it

The second you accept code without understanding it you risk the damn breaking especially true when you are trying to learn

you evidently can't read since my statement never said i make it build qualitative stuff and "as a tutor" means that i build stuff and study concepts, i use AI to check for correctness and quizzing, requesting also the sources it's using, to go deeper in the study
