Honestly, you're missing or avoiding my point: I'm not deferring to the author because he's respected or has a popular blog.

I am suggesting that the OP has little business writing off a legitimate expert's opinion in a domain where they are highly qualified to comment. This isn't controversial.

If you had the karma to downvote, would you give a hard time to the OP who started with "The author does not seem to understand when to correctly apply microservices."?
