You know that feeling when you're in the standup meeting confidently calling it a "microservice" while internally screaming because it's basically a distributed monolith wearing a fancy hat? That nervous side-eye says it all. Your so-called microservice has more endpoints than a porcupine has quills, shares a database schema with everything else (violating every principle of service independence), and has "modules" that are just glorified folders pretending to be separate concerns. It's like calling a studio apartment a "luxury multi-zone living space." The worst part? Everyone on the team knows, but nobody wants to be the one to say "hey, maybe we should refactor this before it becomes sentient and enslaves us all." Instead, you just keep adding more endpoints and praying the database doesn't become the single point of failure it was always destined to be.
