I think the title was changed correctly, I tried to follow HN's guideline of having the same headline as the source, but this is more accurate.

While they may not be being done lightly, the reasoning is still based on legal concerns rather than medical ones. https://twitter.com/leonardocarella/status/13718299183388016...
Re:Write libraries instead of services, where possible on Tuesday March 09, 2021 @10:16AM (#26399545)
This is very sound advice.

That being said it's incredibly hard to follow this advice in environments which encourage a polyglot stack and 'the best tool for the job' mindset. The moment you have more than one language in your stack it becomes easier to build services than to maintain libraries in each language. You can of course write native C libraries with bindings to different languages but that's a bit weird.

It's also requires more discipline to maintain abstractions and boundaries properly with libraries in large code bases but that's another story.
