Microservices [video]
I remember reading a blog post some months ago here from a former AirBnb employee where they talked about how some senior manager in the company wrote an incredibly detailed spec for a CRUD feature which required them to invent a datatype because they insisted on using no more than N bytes to store some inconsequential field. There was also a description of how the author had to crawl through a parking garage to escape a meeting wherein he insisted that nobody was allowed to leave.I feel like there is no accountability for these clowns. They'll inevitably switch jobs and ruin the work lives of so many developers with their stupidity. There is a culture of not wanting to name your abuser for some reason. It's weird.
