Microservices are not just about scaling and performance but it is a core advantage. To say they have “nothing” to do with it is outright false.

They have nothing to do with performance. You can improve performance with vertical scaling, which nowadays has a very high ceiling.

It's not a coincidence that startups are advised against going with microservices until they grow considerably. The growth is organizational, and not traffic.

Microservices are about modular design and decoupling units of code from each other.

Yes, but you're failing to understand that the bottleneck that's fixed by peeling off microservices is the human one faced by project managers. In fact, being forced to pay the microservices tax can and often does add performance penalties.

The problem with this approach is that switching from vertical to horizontal is extremely hard if you didn’t plan for it from the start.

I think you're missing the point that more often than not ain't going to need it.

In the rare cases you do, microservices is not a magic wand that fixes problems. The system requires far more architectural changes that go well beyond getting a process to run somewhere else.

What do you mean by "boring" ?

And if you’re not using Kotlin, you’re probably using Java for Android dev.

Java is the dominant platform for web services, and some companies including FANGs even standardized their whole infrastructure around it.

Also, Java is basically the default programming language in some degrees.

If you're worried about your degree's worth then you are certainly not he right person to talk about going through a shit university.

The amount of unqualified people is staggering beginning with those who have no university education.

I don't see it as a problem, because qualifications without competence are meaningless.

You should be more concerned with how qualified people end up performing worse and being less educated, knowledgeable, and prepared than unqualified people.

Why not another scripting language (no compile necessary)? (...) If I could write my scripts in a nice syntax, but be sure my users will be able to use it effortlessly by distributing to them compiled versions, then that would make both of our lives easier!

Would it make sense to describe your idea as a typescript for bash or sh?
