The value of my post is that a charlatan with very damaging views has somehow been promoted as great thinker when I find his entire engineering philosophy not only incorrect but totally moronic and damaging. I’m calling it out because it’s really stupid and we need more people to feel OK calling bullshit when some idiot carts out the “we need 50 services to power the authentication pipeline!” which I have seen multiple times during my career, as other enthusiastic engineers cheer them on. It’s a dead idea and it is pointless, at least at when operating at the scale of 99% of tech companies. I’m not going to keep pretending this is a good idea when it’s not.
- teh_klev 5y ago> some idiot carts out the “we need 50 services to power the authentication pipeline!” That's not Fowler's fault. It's the fault of your solution architects who don't know how and when to use the right amount of seasoning in the sauce.
- detaro 5y ago> we need 50 services to power the authentication pipeline! If the architect is an adherent of Fowler, you can then ask where to get the 50-400 engineers needed for building said pipeline, citing Fowler for teamsizes. ;)
