My view on it is that companies build cargo ships when most just need a normal boat. For the particular orchestration I am thinking of, it scales to massive use with billions of transactions. The problem is, the idle infrastructure is so big and the bulk of deployments don't need that potential. I agree with you. For much of what I have done for myself I have learned to love sqlite3. I love the simplicity of one process and one file.

I enjoy this article and it hurt a little to read. Tha part about RabbitMQ especially hurt. This has been my life for a while. Give me our monolithic software any day.

The office is very nice. I think it is just what I want at this time in my life. I want to be around my family with my dog laying at my feet - not in a corporate environment.

I have been working remote for same place for 12 years. If needed, I would assume outfit a external shed as an office before going back into the office. When I visit I feel like my skin is crawling -- I can't ever go back.
