Re: Ask HN: Best talks of 2018?
#42"Design Microservice Architectures the Right Way" by Michael Bryzek [1] Really good discussion on event-collaborative microservice systems that scale well for performance and maintenance as well as a good argument and use case for server and client code generation. Definitely my favorite so far. [1] https://www.infoq.com/presentations/microservices-arch-infra...
it's said microservice is phasing out to serverless?

#43"Maybe Not" by Rich Hickey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR5WdGrpoug Another excellent talk by the creator of Clojure, and like the previous ones, relevant for all programmers.
I thought this was one of the notably bad talks this year. The whole premise that a function of Maybe a should be a function of a without an API change is neither intuitive to me nor really justified by Hickey. Different things are different. It's sad to see someone build such a wall around himself when faced by something (type theory) that he doesn't understand.
Are you sure that he doesn't understand it, or is it possible that you haven't worked with the same scale of systems he has?
Here's my response to his talk, which I found insightful:

Also, I think your comment suffers from the problem here, where you invoke "type theory" without any elaboration:

Rich has taken the time to explain his thoughts very carefully, and his clear about what his experience is, and domains he is talking about. Whereas I see a lot of vague objections without specifics and that aren't backed up by experience.

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
He is a very controversial figure in both Greece and Europe as a whole.
Controversial in the very least. I also got the impression that he was quite anti-EU with his whole Greece rhetoric during the discussions about another Greek buyout. Maybe I got him wrong..?
How could he not be? The people he was negotiating with to try and save Greece were telling him - look, we know you’re right, but we’re going to completely ignore that fact and institute policy that completely fucks the worst off Greeks.
Here is an interview that explains his position a bit better than my paraphrasing: https://amp.theguardian.com/books/2017/mar/07/yanis-varoufak...

Thanks for this, it's a great talk. I think the real point here has nothing to do with microservices; look at the leverage and flexibility they gain because everything is built data-first.

Was about to suggest this myself. I see a few that didn't like this and I can see why, but I thought it was interesting to listen too. Always interesting to hear someone knowledgeable argue for something you don't think you agree with. It is also interesting since Rich is in the quite unique position of handling a functional language with dynamic types (a dying breed in the functional space imo).
I don't think Rich fully convinced me to change my mind, but he made me think about when and why Maybe is needed.

Fundamentally changed how I think about modelling data

Any talk by Varoufakis is worth listening to.
The man is articulated but nothing of what he says brings anything to my mind. Maybe he's just too smart.. but I can't discern from overenginered pub talk.

I was under that impression as well, that "Microservice" was now becoming too much boilerplate overhead, inconsistently defined within our industry, and easily misunderstood by those that implement them. Serverless architectures do solve these issues, however they are not a panacea.
