It's still there. You can only see it if you are found worthy, and if you have the correct sacrificial offerings.

I must admit I didn't frequent it that often, but when I did it was usually an interesting place to visit.

Web programmers - take a drink for every mention of "microservices"
.NET programmers - take a drink for every mention of "assemblies"
JavaScript programmers - don't stop drinking

Why do you want to get rid of me? I'm not a web programmer at all, but I think I invented microservices (or something very similar) before I ever heard of that word.

Because while microservices are in theory a good way to isolate different parts of a large process, the way they are implemented by most web programmers is enough to make you want to kill them.
It's the same as motorcycle riders. Riding motorcycles is fun, and can, in theory, reduce congestion on the roads. In practice, the way most motor cycle riders drive, they give the other drivers heart attacks.

Lecturing them about how to drive can also result in broken bones and loss of teeth.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

What are you waiting for? Grab some potatos and start distilling.

As a Brit I am surprised at how Andy Capp has travelled, it or was, set in a North England Pub with it stereotypical resident drinker... Not the most portable source, it may be that it is not too far from other Western blue collar life?

I first met Capp while I was living in South Africa decades ago. I have not come across him here in the USA, but I follow his antics on the Internet.
