“This code is a mess and it’s a wonder any of it even works” is the view of most people working on any software that’s more than a couple of months or years old, at the latest. This isn’t some huge indicator of a bad team or bad engineering.

Mad enough to freeze their advertising, but not enough to do the right thing by making insulin more accessible to people dependent on it to literally stay alive.

New: That fake verified Eli Lilly account sparked a panic inside the pharma giant, and senior execs decided they'd had enough, freezing all Twitter ad campaigns in a huge blow to @elonmusk. "For $8," they lost out on "millions of dollars in ad revenue" wapo.st/3TBlceD

Perhaps not a monolith, but properly sized and scoped services. I’ve called this “macroservices” in the past ironically - maybe it’s time to use it seriously now lol. And there’s prior art here too …

Post details

Lol - we’ve seen this movie before, with Dropbox too. See my previous tweet: twitter.com/copyconstruct/… And “Macroservices” was a term I used sardonically in the past (and many of the blue checks here dunked on me for that). It’s now truly a thing - who’d have thunk?

I suspect you're about to find out what those microservices did and that you actually needed them for other stuff.

Ha! I predicted this correctly! In years of discussions about microservices and how it helps solve the org problem, we never stopped to wonder if the (bloated) org *itself* is the problem. But now that CEOs are convinced companies are overstaffed and org charts need culling 😉

Adult content should be allowed on here 100% But there should be some age verification process for NSFW accounts, where you can’t post/view nsfw material until you get age verified.

Correction: branches *cannot* be pushed upstream to origin (that part of Git is 'readonly'). So it's not just main branch. But, practically, this is fine because local branches can be pushed to Phab, which runs its own Git server & does builds, tests etc. So not blocking dev.
