Yeah, I'd like them to be a better dedicated server competitor to OVH as competition is normally good for the consumer. But I guess there's more demand for cloud computing these days.

Personally, I think that it's impossible to completely avoid getting a cold or flu. Exercise, diet, etc can, however, lesson the effects.

I tend to drop my working hours to maybe one or two so I can deal with any critical stuff and then rest as much as possible. I've found that shortens the shortens the length of illness considerably compared to trying to work through it. I'd rather have a few days of no productivity than have a linger sickness screw it over.

Edit: Lol, if you're downvoting me because you think that I'm a fan of him, you're wrong. Just pointing out that you should rather focus on a person's arguments :)

Yep, there is no real "one size fits all" to microservices

While I'm not arguing with you, I have had a different experience working with developers and microservices, perhaps because the teams have been more seasoned/experienced and there is more of a collaborative environment.

I found that a lot of the time developers start moving towards microservices when they find that a monolithic app becomes too difficult to work on. For example, multiple teams working on the same codebase will often have accidental code conflicts. Plus, scaling a monolithic app because one part of it is under load isn't always cost effective or logical. So, teams will start to break off components into microservices to make development easier and less painful. Naturally this has to be weighed up as microservices bring a different set of challenges, 'gotchas', etc, etc but in my experience the teams have done a proper job discussing the pros and cons.
