What about "microservice", then?

This is perhaps a case where miscommunication saved an entire industry.

I once got a new hire from Uber and for months on end his complaint was that “the services are too big”.

I once wrote a small class at work and by the time I left it was like over 8k lines long. People jokes it was my fault I called it HelperUtil instead of something more descriptive. It was a dumping ground for all the stuff people didn't want to think about. I wonder if something like that is possible in the microservice world?

Same thing, a typical OS has tons of microservices talking over OS IPC.

Sun RPC was microservices.

But understanding they are several decades old concept isn't cool, doesn't sell conference tickets, books and consulting training.
