Wait, what is a good programmer supposed to do in this scenario?
So you have encapsulated services... boss comes and says "we need feature X right away". What if feature X spans all of your microservices? The bad programmer will hack together a monstrosity between multiple services. It's the micro-lith problem: instead of a monolith, you have a monolith disguised as micro services. Now their poor choices are spread across a lot of services and distributed, it's not really confined to just one service.
