Behaviour over structure

We, developers, often forget why we even exist. We quite often don’t remember that our purpose is not to write software, but to solve problems.

Now themonoliths thatwe have been developing for decades are supposed to be the solutionagain. Inthis discussion, the foundation for developing complex software systems has been forgotten: Modularization, which is far more important than the question of monoliths vs. microservices.
