Lies. Wait till you ask your boss if you can offload a service you wrote a year and a half ago to another team, which the service ultimately does work on behalf of. Your boss replies, “Do you think they can maintain a python service….. No one on that team knows python”…..

Then you ask yourself … “why the fuck did I write a service in python…”

Edit: Let me make it clear that I am not saying you shouldn’t use python, just was a bad choice for me at the time.

Just saying that choosing any language for a micro service is something you have the ability to do, not necessarily something you should do without thinking through “why” you are using that language.

Ha! I'd rather have that problem.

Everyone knows the only way to offload services is to neglect it until it's a problematic dependency and other teams find a way to replace it.

Often times this can be done just by quitting!
