Worked on both monoliths and micro services. I'd rather work on a good monolith than a bad microservice and vice versa. The problem is, working on a bad monolith is almost impossible. I'd rather work on a bad microservice than a bad monolith. Now... tbh this could be survivorship bias where I've never had to help with a well-running monolith, fair... but at the end of the day, I find microservices much easier to manage scope, change and scale.

> I'd rather work on a bad microservice than a bad monolith. That's not the choice. The choice is between a bad monolith or a bad microservices ecosystem. And the microservices tend to come with organizational policies too, that may or may not allow you to access, see, or change some subset of them.
