- monsieurbanana 3y agoIf it's that bad, you might be better off paying extra to avoid shitty outsourcing companies. But you're probably not the person I should telling this, developers aren't usually in charge of that.
- jacquesm 3y agoWho mentioned outsourcing?

- lijok 3y agoYou wont know how bad the product produced by consultants will be until it already had effect. And on pricing specifically, both shitty and good consultancies charge about the same. The ones that charge well below market are an outlier that will guarantee bad product - those are to be avoided.
- otikik 3y agoMicro services don’t solve any of those either.
- lijok 3y agoWhat specifically do they not solve? Because in this thread we're, very specifically, discussing isolating the well maintained monolith from risky product produced by consultants, which microservices absolutely do solve.
- LeBit 3y agoI think the hot trend these days is to bash on microservices. I hear that a lot here, random blogs, youtube videos by self proclaimed top guns. If hacker news is correct, microservices is the #1 worst idea of software engineering. And whoever promotes them is either a kid with no experience or a complete moron.

- discreteevent 3y agoWell, speaking for myself, I was against them from the start. Maybe the rejection of distributed objects (when it came) was a hot trend also but it didn't make it wrong.
- otikik 3y agoAny of the problems above. If you have a problem with bad consultants then solve that. Trying to solve it by jumping into microservices you will just have bad consultants writing your microservices equally badly, or even worse.
- qaq 3y agoYep and people you do not trust should not have access to CI/CD workflows and repo settings. Your CI/CD workflows should prevent everything else you mentioned.
