That's the dream, isn't it? Like a network of microservices. And we must realize that a few hundred years ago that was the default (well, if you were not a slave of some description).

A few hundred years ago, indentured servitude and slavery were the norm.

[newswasboring]

Yeah true. So I guess we just have replaced slaves with employees?

[acchow]

As in the people doing work? Yes. And it is a fairer system.

You can go back if you like but I think being an employee suits me better ...

[pmiller2]

Yep.

Other than the relation that both are norms, how did you come to the conclusion that they are the same things?

[newswasboring]

I never said they were the same things. One thing replaced the other. I can replace my daily fruit from apples to oranges. They both serve the same purpose (filling my tum tum), doesn't mean they are the same.
