Why the hate on micro services?Arh another critical of the microservice pandemic, nice.

No hate, its just the new black, promising to be a solution to some things while at the same time bringing about its own sets of problems and complexities. Out field is forever hyping up the next big "paradigm" while in reality we havent produced anything of true value to the field since servlets and stored procs. Yes I am over-emphasizing, but there is a real point there IMO.Why the hate on micro services?
It adds a ton of complexity and IMO delivers very little of it's promises.Why the hate on micro services?
Yeah, there's always those people obsessed with following the new shiny thing and delivering tales of the greatness it will bring, often before it's really ready for prime-time. Then do it all over again in a few more years.No hate, its just the new black, promising to be a solution to some things while at the same time bringing about its own sets of problems and complexities.

Has squirrel rewitten the Twitter code base yet? It's been a few hours!

There is an irony to microservices too, with moores law still going, with all of the compute available at your fingertips today, why oh why do you insist on moving core complexities of your application out on the wire, its slow and it has a fixed latency that is never gonna improve.Yeah, there's always those people obsessed with following the new shiny thing and delivering tales of the greatness it will bring, often before it's really ready for prime-time.

Architecture really does depend on the goals trying to be achieved. We're currently rewriting a really bad 15 year old monolith using microservices to carve out and replace functionality gradually. But the process is being very actively managed architecturally.
Haha that’s pretty good I scored an 83Monty Burns or Elon Musk. Burns is kind of distinct, I got 92%.

Who Said It: Elon Musk or Mr. Burns?
The Simpsons character and the guy ruining Twitter often sound a lot alike.newrepublic.com
Nothing quite says a company is dealing with major cashflow problems like conducting mass layoffs in violation of the WARN act.He is like "Fuck the Law"
Just keeps on rolling.

Twitter lays off 5K contractors in surprise 2nd wave of cuts, more mods lost
One Twitter contractor was laid off mid-update to child safety.arstechnica.com
There has to be a plan somewhere ... a merger with Truth? Insane I know. So merger with Truth?
How could he possibly know if he's cutting inefficiency or essential talent in barely a weeks time?Question should be why did they need that many people to begin with? It's not really that complicated of a site. Sounds like he's just cutting out inefficiency so they can stop losing money. I don't know if his shot gun approach is the best though as he's losing a lot of knowledge in the progress and whoever is left may have low morale wondering if they're next, but I kind of get why he's doing it. He's cutting out inefficiency.

Sorry, but to people who actually know business, this screams desperation. Especially when these layoffs are out of compliance with the WARN act, that screams Musk paid $44b for a company struggling to make payroll.
Oops, did I misread the Ars article? This is correct, as long as twitter is paying out at least 60 days severance to the affected employees, then they are in compliance.Agree, but he's not in violation as long as he pays severance for the necessary duration. As much as he's the asshole here, it does seem he's getting at least that part right.
100% for me, all that Simpsons knowledge finally paid off.Haha that’s pretty good I scored an 83
As a 20 year network engineer/architect/fix peoples broken environments guy. I can count on a single hand how many dev's i have had to help who actually understand the data flow of their own application.There is an irony to microservices too, with moores law still going, with all of the compute available at your fingertips today, why oh why do you insist on moving core complexities of your application out on the wire, its slow and it has a fixed latency that is never gonna improve.

92% here as well.100% for me, all that Simpsons knowledge finally paid off.
Well first he's going to build that 2000 ft² shed in his backyard which should hold all the Twitter infrastructure. Then he'll get to work on coding the whole fucking thing. Probably just need to hire a couple programmers off of craigslist since he said it's so simple
Anyone who did not sign the pledge by 5 p.m. Eastern time Thursday would receive three months of severance pay, the message said.
In the midnight email, which was obtained by The Washington Post, Musk said Twitter “will need to be extremely hardcore” going forward. “This will mean working long hours at high intensity,” he said. “Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.”
This seems like a miserable place to work. Of the part time CEO started telling everyone how many extra hours everyone else needs to put into their job I would tell them to eat shit.Latest from Musky. Sign up to slave day and night for him, or get out of the company:
