This is a great list.

When micro services work, it's because they made it easy to verify each of these [obvious] bullet points. For some jobs, file this under premature contemplation.

When other methods work... My top two are "clarity of focus" and "[relative] lots of unnecessary labour". "Lifecycle" takes a coalition third.


Per capita spending is a little misleading here, is it not? Ceteris paribus, http://www.novinite.com/articles/143867/Bulgarian+Teachers+w... suggests Romania gets Bulgaria's educational results at nine tenths the cost, and Bulgaria achieves Luxembourg's results at a[n adjusted] seventh of the cost.

Which makes this circular comment a little ironic.


So three coin flips leads to a gender disparity- I guess if you don't observe any of them, no discrimination of heads or tails could occur...


I think you need to draw a better comparison to http://io9.com/5691604/how-ma-bell-shelved-the-future-for-60... for this crowd.
