It's fashionable right now to like monoliths. It's "thought leaders" trying to one-up other "thought leaders," contradicting for sport. And who cares anyway? Software fashion is cargo cult nonsense pushed by people who probably struggle to ship anything that's robust or reusable. They're obsessed with keeping up with "thought leaders" on Twitter and Medium. They fly to speak at conferences and make a big name for themselves while the rest of us are busy grinding and limiting the damage they can do.
