Depends on how you choose to read it. I love microservices and all the new tools we have to scale gracefully, but I read this as satire. It's more hyperbole on how some people always seem to be over-engineering and pretending that's the conservative way to write software without considering the time-sink required to be able to dynamically scale with all of those tools.

Calling this satire insults the skill and wit of competent satirists the world over.

It's not clever or funny. It's lazy. It's exaggerated to the point of questionable emotional stability on the part of the writer.

Actually it is funny, but only in an ironic way.
