> Sure you can code a tangled mess in a monolith, but adding TCP connections and Kubernetes to the problems you have probably won't make things better.

Yes!

I call this "moving the spaghetti". That tangled mess in a monolith can easily be (and often is) replaced with an equally tangled mess in microservices. It's just that the mess will be in the connections between services rather than in the code itself.

I see the same thing in certain OOP camps -- removing the spaghetti code from the actual lines of code into the inheritance hierarchy instead.

It's much like sweeping the floor and leaving the dirt under the carpet. At first glance, it looks cleaner. But if you have to move the carpet, you see the truth.
