I expected this to be about system design, not team design.
I question really only the last claim. Integrated doesn't beat distributed every time. Rather, spending money/effort beats hoping for the best. Every time.
To that end, if we will see this work, we will see ways of increasing effort in the area. My gut is that this will be by getting more ways of encouraging inefficient encounters. Think of it in terms of hits. You can try and ensure your one effort is a hit. Or you can do what you can to maximize the effectiveness of an effort, while also increasing the number of efforts you make.

Life is too short), and I expected people to be talking about how K8s and cloud is so complicated. I'd have been super interested in a story about how to achieve vertical scalability. My company expects us back at work 3 days a week. I go 2 days. I'm partially deaf and I do badly with social cues. I don't want to socialize with my colleagues. I'd rather work from home and cuddle my cats and dog when I'm taking a break. I love them more than I like people I work with, irrespective of which company I'm at. I'm waiting to shift to a completely remote company one day. My employer doesn't have to give me a social life they deem fit. Pay me and I'll make friends outside of work.
