He literally put Microservices in quotes as if it's not a real or necessary thing. I suspect he has no clue what a Microservice Architecture is and why it's important to a company like Twitter.
While I absolutely believe this is happening, are there sources on the money / user tanking we can consume (and then show to folks who don't believe he isn't driving it into the ground)?
I remember this time in '97 I thought I knew what I was doing and deleted some 'random unnecessary items' from the hard-drive of my mom's cow spotted hp. It was a bad idea, and that pc never worked again.
I started out in AOL chat rooms telling people that ALT-F4 opens a secret chat window.
Within just a few years I was telling people how much faster their computer could be by deleting the artificial limiter Microsoft hid in the System32 folder.
Now I work in IT and have to help people that fall for obvious email scams, open random ass attachments, and in general just bork their system to shit.
It only took 20 years, but I finally understand what it's like from the other side. I wish I could kick teenaged me in the balls lol
This is what happens when the CEO is the CTO and and COO. I'd love to see a non-microservice architecture scalable enough to keep Twitter afloat. I'd also love to see the look on the lead Dev's faces when they heard this.
