Microservices are just monoliths with trust issues.
You went from one thing that could break to 47 things that could break, but now each failure has its own GitHub repository.
"But we can scale each service independently!"
Cool. Now you can scale your problems independently too.

Centralized logging is the difference between "grep the server" and "grep the multiverse."
You went from SSH-ing into boxes at 3am to writing Lucene queries at 3am. Progress is a flat circle, but at least now you're in your pajamas.

Distributed tracing: because "works on my machine" evolved into "works on 47 machines but fails on the 48th for reasons that violate causality."
OpenTelemetry is just acceptance that your stack trace now requires a PhD in graph theory.

AI observability is where "it works on my machine" meets "the model hallucinated my entire test suite."

1. Confusion
2. Anger
3. Bargaining ("Maybe they had a good reason...")
4. Depression
5. Acceptance ("I'll just rewrite this entire function")

Serverless computing: "No servers to manage!"
Also serverless computing: Here's 47 YAML files, 12 different cloud services, and a bill that somehow costs more than just renting a server.

Kubernetes learning curve is like this:
Week 1: "How hard can container orchestration be?"
Week 4: "Why does my hello world app need 47 YAML files?"
Week 12: "I am become YAML, destroyer of weekends."
But once it clicks, you'll never want to deploy any other way.

Before: "It's simple distributed computing"
After: "Well, when Service A calls Service B through an API Gateway with circuit breakers while Service C does eventual consistency..."
The confidence-to-knowledge ratio is inversely proportional.

The hardest part of programming isn't writing code - it's explaining to your past self why you thought this variable name was a good idea.
