Why I'm No Longer Talking to Architects About Microservices (container-solutions.com)
It happened again last week. I was at an architecture review meeting when a fellow architect eagerly started another debate about *microservices*. Within minutes, eyes glazed over and we were knee-deep in an absurd discussion about something that should have been a means to an end, but had morphed into the end itself. At that moment, I realized: I’m done. I’ve finally sworn off talking to architects about microservices. Why? Because these conversations usually go nowhere productive.

The reverse YAGNI (medium.com)

Against the 'QA‐Free' Philosophy (github.com/getlago)
I recently watched Pieter Levels' interview with Lex Friedman and dove through the comments. Most discussed one hallmark topic: Pieter’s 1-click deployment system that only leverages local tests for testing. In Pieter’s own words, he’s notorious for not setting up staging servers. He prefers a stripped-down pipeline, something that enables him to ship fast.
