Episode notes
Monolith First
- Start new projects with a monolith to make early design changes easier.
- Refactor into microservices only when necessary, not prematurely.
Best Tool Nuance
- The best tool isn't always best when considering broader project factors.
- Sometimes, a good enough tool already in use is better than the "best" one.
Legacy Reality
- Most business software (over 90%) is legacy, not greenfield.
- True greenfield projects are rare; most involve existing systems.
