I think people fool themselves into thinking their modules aren't coupled. The problem is, coupled vs uncounted isn't really a binary proposition. There is more or less coupled. Even if most changes are ok, if your services work together at all, its possible to make changes in one that break the other.

@superfluidity They are now. They did not used to be. That has taken decades to hammer out, and it's still not perfect. Now imagine trying to convince yourself you've made some new system of microservices that have that level of independence.
