Yeah I would think that the solution to monolith vs microservices would be “neither should be followed because of dogma; encapsulate where it makes sense, when it makes sense”.

I have a private note app that I wrote for personal notes to keep them off the cloud. This is the one problem I don’t know how to go about solving for tens of thousands of notes. If anyone has any solutions, please share.

The issue as I see it is that every bit of data that the model ingested in training has affected what the model _is_ and therefore every token of output from the model has benefited from every token of input. When you receive anything from
