Manager Does A Little Code

Manager Does A Little Code

When your manager decides to "optimize" the codebase by shutting down "unnecessary" microservices, and suddenly 2FA stops working because—surprise!—everything in a microservices architecture is actually connected to everything else.

Elon casually announces he's turning off "bloatware" microservices at Twitter (less than 20% are "actually needed"), and within hours people are locked out because the 2FA service got yeeted into the void. Classic move: treating a distributed system like it's a messy closet you can just Marie Kondo your way through. "Does this microservice spark joy? No? DELETE."

Pro tip: Before you start playing Thanos with your infrastructure, maybe check what those services actually do. That "bloatware" might be the thing keeping your users from rage-tweeting about being locked out... oh wait. 💀
