I have never had anyone indicate to me that this is a problem. However, every time I spend days on a problem that ends up being a trivial number of LOC, I get a feeling of anxiety that I am going to be seen as incompetent. That's been

The linked article was posted on January 6th, 2020. For some reason many people received an email about it today. Must have just been a soft rollout and now they are starting to actually publicize the feature?

If they're hard to kill because there are a web of dependencies then I would argue they are doing microservices wrong.

I live in downtown Chicago with a Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and a Jewel Osco all within 3 blocks of me. I'm not sure what makes you think there is a lack of access in this area. I live here because I love how accessible everything
