I love this line:
> Stop shipping distributed systems when you meant to ship a feature.
But not in the contex the author meant.
Many people don't realize that when you have a frontend, a backend (several instances, for failover/scaling), a (separate) database, maybe some object store -- you have a distributed system.
A recent article[0] touched on that, although most HN commenters[1] latched on the "go" part. But there's something to avoiding rube goldberg machines where we don't need them.
