I had a job interview where the guy asked me something along the lines of do I have experience with OOP or Microservices，or both. So I answered how I like both and feel that MS are Objects at the network layer, the dude cut me off and told me to stick to the question. Absolutely gut wrenching, I was being evaluated by who knows who, in a slot of 30 minutes, maybe his entire job was repeating the same set of questions 16 times per day and he was unironically writing down yes/no next to "Microservices?" "OOP"?

OMG! As an interviewer I would have asked you to elaborate on that response. Perfect opportunity to see if and how the candidate thinks and how deep some pocket of understanding goes.

do not iterate the bad feeling of this, the guy was not the level to understand the abstraction both give. while i have felt this sentiment towards things being reinvented, we have to assume some innovation is incremental, and the new thing looks like the old but allows kool new stuff such as networking.
