Add to this: you must have discipline around those boundaries. Within the single address space, and shared database it is easy to reach across them. The pressure to do so 'just this time' inevitably draws you into 'big ball of mud'.

Microservices came into being for a reason.

I was interested to see some on here asking 'why should a rich person pay more for the same services than a poorer person?' on the back of council tax/poll tax discussions. Now of course no one likes tax, but we need to understand it, so I wanted to bash out my quick, unpolished

This is not semantics, or studio definitions- this is going to psychologically impact new artists.
It is warp expectations in a dangerous way.

Hardly any of my day is straightforward… one of the 3 domains assessed by the final GP exam is “medical complexity”, recognising that we are the only medical speciality who routinely deals with multiple coexisting issues in incredibly short time slots. #teamgp
