A person’s perceived status shouldn’t win them an argument.

  No, but the dude works at google and has written that and other books about Kubernetes so obviously he knows about scaling parts of a system and huge organizations working on software together. That is not what he is commenting on here though. It is that microservice architecture is starting to become the default pattern on how to build applications for a lot of people. Instead it should be an exception when you reach those very specific problems that most people don't have.

  I didn't declare their argument won, lost or invalid. I did suggest that they consider the bona fides of the person whose opinion they were tossing off as uneducated. Thanks for the downvote, though.

    > I did suggest that they consider the bona fides of the person whose opinion they were tossing off as uneducated. It would be more constructive to give reasons why one argument is better than another though, rather than resorting to status, and you did not reference any of the commenter’s points. > Thanks for the downvote, though. I don’t have the karma required to give a downvote. I’m not sure who you should thank.

      Honestly, you're missing or avoiding my point: I'm not deferring to the author because he's respected or has a popular blog. I am suggesting that the OP has little business writing off a legitimate expert's opinion in a domain where they are highly qualified to comment. This isn't controversial. If you had the karma to downvote, would you give a hard time to the OP who started with "The author does not seem to understand when to correctly apply microservices."?
