@icedquinn@blob.cat @7666@comp.lain.la @pry@raru.re yeah it depends on how much is really irreducible and how much is just cargo culted because as a result of having to break everything down into (using DDD language) tiny domains with microservices, the moment you have smaller domains than necessary then you have unnecessary translation layers which are embedded everywhere in the application, and then your complexity isn't irreducible anymore. but theoretically if you had a single perfect microservices stack then maybe you it could be irreducible and not shit, perhabs. i highly doubt this was accomplished by faang engineers with 2 years max tenures
