So it's backlash time already? A lot of technologies get a lot of hype over the years. But often the backlash is no less ignorant or fashion driven. Is there a silent majority of us that look at these hype trends, consider them, and make a level-headed decision to see if they fit our problem? I never got into micro-services, because I worked on small teams and it seemed like over-engineering. But it's an idea that I tucked away in the back of my head, that I'd still use if the situation calls for it, HN backlash be damned. The same goes for nosql databases or dynamic scripting languages or anything else that's now irrationally hated.
