I don't think you and OP are necessarily contradicting each other. OP explicitly says that if you are a big company planning to get bigger by doing lots of hiring or acquisition, his advice is not addressed to you, and you should take advice from big companies. He's saying if you have a small team that is going to stay smallish, that's a different situation that warrants a different strategy.
- femto113 11y agoThe problem is that "is going to stay smallish" is a prediction that has a very high chance of being wrong in the very long term. There's also an assumption that the organization retains its understanding of the monolith indefinitely, which even in a team that stays small can be lost due to turnover.
