If a micro service is independent it makes no calls to other micro services. Thus the system has a single service and that service is a monolith. Contradiction, thus a micro service cannot be independent.
Lets say ycombinator.com was news.y, www.y and apply.y, all served from the same "monolith". And they decided to make them into separate micro-services ... The best way is to make them all independent!
