I don’t think we’re speaking the same language. I’m talking about how much time it takes to change the code in every unit test, etc. because you upgraded something that requires changing the test framework, and this library and that one, so

In my experience, there is a class of small company that has roughly 3-7 employees, at least half of which are 45-65 years old, where the business is slow and quiet, with little sign of any growth, typically selling a niche product or techn

Could undecidability similar to that of Conway or another halting problem be used to better solve security of financial transactions? If it’s ubersecure maybe it would outperform Moore’s Law, quantum computing, and the hyper-intelligent AIs

You don’t have to have microservices in the end result, but you could develop and test them as microservices, then have them automatically rewritten into a monolith, perhaps with a subset of their functionality, if that would fit better
