- omnicognate 11mo agoLOL, perhaps the communication structure there was "silent, internalised turmoil".

I worked for a company that had done pretty much that - not fun at all (for extra fun half the microservices where in a language only half the dev team had even passing familiarity with). You need someone in charge with "taste" enough to not allow that to happen or it can happen.
