Will you feel better looking at a wiring job that seems guaranteed to burn down the building if you don't fix it? And will Management agree?

I wish the abominations software engineers create were as regulated and fixable as a bad wiring job. I would feel absolutely chuffed to work in an industry with licensed inspectors and standards bodies.

I am currently dealing with a system involving four separate serverless functions that call each other. There's no reason whatsoever why any of them need to be network calls. The fourth function just calls the first function again. One is in a different region for no discernible reason.

Would be nice if there was a serverless library that lets you do in-process orchestration so you don't need abominations like Step Functions ;)
