This is one of my favourite blogposts and then presentations https://boringtechnology.club/... Back when it first came out, everyone was rushing to build microservices and shun practiced technologies, systems and software architectures, in search of some shortcut to software and systems utopia.

It was fairly obvious it wasn't going to deliver, but usually newer and more inexperienced engineers were extremely enthusiastic and would build the ultimate mess. This was a refreshing blog and presentation that provided a way to communicate to people boring is better, and to ship product.
