Systems divided up into subsystems include microservices architectures but that’s not the only way to get there.
Like so many fads in our industry microservices solve a problem that giant, famous companies have and are aped by thousands of companies that don’t, and will never, have those problems.
- 29athrowaway 5y agoOK, then if not microservices, then the problem will be programming paradigms, programming languages, data structures and algorithms, interviews... everything that forces you to think will be a problem. We have to stay mediocre and keep the bar low, to lower the entry barrier to software and depress wages.
- bradleyjg 5y agoYes, we need to lower the barrier to entry. There are not enough programmers to go around. Mediocre programmers are much better than no programmers. Hiring managers at companies that can’t afford to get into bidding wars with FAAMG need to realize that. You might prefer that they try anyway just to push up your salary a bit more, and I can’t blame you for wanting that, but all of us in this conversation aren’t going to strategically tailor our thoughts to help you achieve that goal.
