I grew up in a Soviet planned city, with courtyard focused developments. Our playgrounds were(they still are) larger and more accessible, than anything my current neighbours kids get on their 2a of land in rural USA. Even the new developmen

They absolutely can. In the end it should be their right... but... what happens now, is that they underpay for the infrastructure and services they get.

Dealing with HOAs is actually easier - transfer all infrastructure ownership and maintenance to them... you'll see some big changes real fast. Like treat HOA as a commercial entity for purposes of trash, water and sewage. (HOAs are, de

That whole wall of text completely ignoring my point. Not only that, I now have a very negative opinion of you... simply because you completely ignored what I wrote. What I learned from your response, is that debates in US teach you - ignor

What we understand as debate today, is exactly the school adversarial debates that you're referring to. The "cooperative" debate is what we call a conversation. Throwing the word constructive in front of debate, does not chan

That's really not how debate typically works. Someone states their position, while you're expected to undermine their position with a retort. It is one of the least productive ways of resolving differences.

There's disagreement and there's verbal battle. Those are not the same.

Most people love to win, that includes arguments. What a lot of people failed to learn from debates club, is that a formal "win" is a net loss of a relationship.

Has anyone ever provided any evidence, that debate content ever influenced audience's opinions?

I have read multiple times, that debates cannot be won or lost. People don't change their minds as a result of debates, thus it's impossible to win or lose a debate. What the author talks about isn't a debate, but rather lear

Shock value is still very high! You're more likely to click on a clickbait article, you're more likely to open an app to see "naked man with knife seen running around 14st"(something I've seen on Citizen in NYC)

Using S3 to store and serve documents, RDBMS and Datadog for monitoring+logs - doesn't make a microservice architecture. That's quite typical "monolith", as the term monolith never means that literally everything is in t

Lucky you, that you haven't been hit by the purists. I am currently getting a hard intro into a microservice first architecture. Where customers are managed in one service, users are managed in a different one, user operations are in a

You microservice can be easily tested. But then you may end up with - is your whole system testable and how do you do good integration tests? Right now I work in a pure microservice architecture, where there are no proper system or integrat

The argument against microservices is simple - there should be a clear use case for a microservice. Don't go - "we do everything as a microservice". Almost 20 years ago we had "we do everything using SOA"... Same th

> Yeah, I'm saying Uber's problem was cultural and organizational, not technical. That's the issue currently with microservice architecture zealots - microservices for the sake of microservices.

I'm sorry, but as someone that actually works on ML pipelines - no ML is a microservice. Data space doesn't work well with microservices.

This ties into the fallacy that microservice architecture is inherently infinitely scalable. Microservice advocates championed this fallacy, implemented it... but now, when it's time for critical retrospective - it's not their fai

Common definition of a microservice is basically a module. This is not the first thread on the topic. And considering the number of people actively defending microservices, like it's debates about iPhone vs Android over a decade ago -

The "hate" is directly proportional to the failure of microservice zealots to deliver on the ultimate, everlasting, universal prosperity and harmony, that they promised.

Considering that you've been engaging in strawman arguments this whole thread, I bow out of this discussion.

Conway's law doesn't apply to microservice architecture. Microservice architecture splits the functionality farther, than Conway's law talks about. When a single team owns 4-5 microservices - that's beyond Conway's

Microservices is defined to be extreme decomposition, which is not the same as a service. And the biggest pitfall of microservice architecture, is the creep of loose coupling. Right now I work in an environment, where user account informati

Work management is a custom problem, that no generalized solution will fit. Unless you're a mega corp - you're not getting a good work management solution.
