Everything is going to hell and nobody seems to care

Recently re-discovered this gem of a blog post, written in 2018 by Nikita Propokov, about his disenchantment with the state of modern software. Do you think it’s still relevant today (perhaps more/less so than it was when it was written)?

    @sahrizv: 2014 - We must adopt #microservices to solve all problems with monoliths. 2016 - We must adopt #docker to solve all problems with microservices. 2018 - We must adopt #kubernetes to solve all problems with docker

    Now everything is a microservice, even when it doesn’t need to be.

    And then there is the whole noSql debacle, where relational projects reinvent the wheel every time with nosql and for some reason that is thought to be smart

      If I had a penny for every time I saw something along the lines of:

      noSqlQuery().filter(...)

      I would be disturbingly rich.
