Do not really agree. Monoliths aren't the answer for bad engineering practices any more than micro-services are.

The fundamental problem a lot of companies have, especially fortune 500 type legacy shops, is that they haven't accepted(at the c-suite level) that they need to become tech companies to compete with startups that are eating their lunch .

Switching to micro-services to try and deploy more features while starving your development teams of talent and funding won't make you a tech company. If you want faster development + more features then you need lots of development teams, and large development teams means micro-services so that you don't have a slow to change, interdependent mess after a year or two.
