Good people, misguided leadership
Good people, misguided leadership
Smart and kind people in the engineering department.
- Lots of layoffs, but they're still hiring.
- Strong preference for microservices, even when it's not the best solution.
- Painful on-call.
- Stressful, not much time for good solutions.
Don't have a RIF and then continue to hire.
Care for your monolith before and during the transition to microservices.
