Seems like the whole thing is just there to sell you on the linked resources. And it feels like AI slop with all the lists.
Agree on it being AI, but what really screamed "AI slop" to me was the emojis. I don't know any tech bloggers who use emojis, but everything that ChatGPT or Gemini generates always has too many emojis.
Also, it starts with

> Microservices didn’t scale our startup. They killed it.

...and then at the end,

> We lost 6 months. We lost some good engineers. We burned through money we didn’t have. But we survived.

...So did microservices kill the startup or not?
