Oh, the classic tale of architectural hubris! You've got a perfectly functional monolith that's been serving you faithfully for years, but some senior dev read a Medium article about microservices and suddenly it's "legacy code" that needs to be "modernized."

So what happens? You take that beautiful, simple golden chalice of a monolith and SMASH it into 47 different microservices, each with their own deployment pipeline, logging system, and mysterious failure modes. Congratulations! You've just transformed a straightforward debugging session into a distributed systems nightmare where tracing a single request requires consulting 12 different dashboards and sacrificing a goat to the observability gods.

But hey, at least you can now put "Microservices Architecture" and "Kubernetes Expert" on your LinkedIn and get those recruiter DMs rolling in. Who cares if the team now spends 80% of their time fighting network latency and eventual consistency issues? CAREER GROWTH, BABY!
