Give Me Back My Monolith

Uh, my post was snark towards engineers' general tendency to champion and defend their own favourite architecture over competing approaches rather than focusing on the most suitable architecture for the circumstance, in response to this question:

> How does one know if X is the wrong solution or if X is the right solution but the shop is "doing X wrong"?

Edit: And a civil conversation ensued. :)

Sorry, I just misread your post as being more of an attack. As I had said, I dislike the constant "hype means something is bad" posts that I've been seeing for years - I think it's really unfortunate.

No worries, I can see how it might have been read that way in the wider context of the conversation. And I totally hear you on the "hype equals bad" thing. If something's popular, it's popular for a reason. That reason MIGHT just be trendoids jumping on a hype train, but it might also be because the thing is good.
