🚗🤖 So, a bunch of #AI models were asked if you should walk or drive 50 meters to the car wash, and they all collectively short-circuited. Spoiler: it's called a *CAR* wash for a reason, geniuses. Looks like the #future is here, just not in the form of #common #sense. 😂

I've been confused by elevator entrance controls for a long time…

As the indicator shows where the elevator is located, I used to wonder whether you need to press the button of the direction the elevator should take to reach your floor, or press the button that indicates which way the elevator should go once you've entered it. 🙂

🚀 Ah, the classic #startup dilemma: should you build a solid product or just drown in the microservice soup du jour? 🤦‍♂️ The author valiantly argues that premature #microservices are the code equivalent of a midlife crisis, but we all know startups thrive on bad decisions and #chaos. 🍝

Microservices Are a Tax Your Startup Probably Can’t Afford

Why splitting your codebase too early can quietly destroy your team’s velocity — and what to do instead. In a startup, your survival depends on how quickly you can iterate, ship features, and deliver value to end-users. This is where the foundational architecture of your startup plays a big role; additionally, things like your tech stack and choice of programming language directly affect your team’s velocity. The wrong architecture, especially premature microservices, can substantially hurt productivity and contribute to missed goals in delivering software.
