"It was never recommended to decompose a system into microservices while it is not mature enough. While small, a business has to be flexible and react quickly to the opportunities in the market. This is not an ideal environment for building microservices, and more benefits can be achieved by having a monolith instead. PHP with its ecosystem perfectly fits into this strategy."

If you want to make a positive impact on the world, I would go out and see the world. People like to live in fear of not following the right path - but diverging from the norm is what makes new possibilities happen. Take some time to relax, recharge, and think about what it is you want to accomplish.

May I add to the list of hard problems that make a difference:
- Local / sustainable food systems
I have been working on an application for the past year involving connecting local producers with local customers. It is a different kind of application than typical e-commerce because it revolves around a scheduling component so that farmers can drop off food at the food hub and customers can pick it up their or have it delivered.
There are many others working on similar systems such as http://openfoodfoundation.org/project/open-food-network
There are hundreds of these 'food hubs' in the United States ( definition: http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/foodhubs ).
As far as I observed, each food hub seems to operate quite differently thus making it difficult to facilitate each food hub's needs in one application. There doesn't seem to be a "market leader" software. This is a very grass roots sector and I suspect many food hubs are operating using excel spreadsheets or homebrew solutions.
Anyways, there is a lot of opportunity to make a big difference in the world around you. It has been a very rewarding and challenging thing for me to be involved in. Let me tell you, UI for farmers is quite difficult! :)

Re:New Starter Homes Hit a Dead Stop

I bought my first home last year and I didn't even consider building. The thought didn't even occur to me as an option. I think we are seeing a shift in mindset here - I would guess that people in my position are just buying older houses because they are cheaper than building and readily available ( at least where I live ). I paid well under $200k.
