This article seems to be trying to get in way too much, but I appreciate the initial sentiment. The sad truth is, a smart team can do well with any architecture. A weak team will fail with any architecture. And maybe it's not really too sad. I've seen organisations that really kick ass using microservices, and I've seen some microservices horrorshows too. The difference is having teams that are talented enough to get the benefits of any given technique and mitigate the drawbacks well. Those teams will execute any architecture to its maximum benefit.
