Yea, exactly. Company I'm working with now made the mistake of following the hip. Basically management were crazy about node and microservices.

Went from PHP "monolith" with couple of services to Node.js using microservices. Jesus what a mess, our previous stack was 10x cleaner. Not to mention company now spends thousands of dollars every month for all the new/cool AWS stuff.

But hey, they pay me so I'm not complaining. :)
