In this article, I will discuss how the project I am working on transformed from a large monolith into a set of microservices. The project began its journey quite some time ago, in the early 2000s. The first versions were written in Visual Basic 6. Over time, it became clear that developing in this language would be difficult to maintain in the future since the IDE […]

Hello, Habr! While leisurely reading an interesting article about becoming a programmer, I realized that we are all navigating the same minefield filled with pitfalls on our career paths. It begins with a dislike for the educational system that is supposed to turn us into seniors, and ends with the understanding that the heavy burden of learning falls solely on us.
