> The code worked in our original monolithic system but was not implemented properly when we moved to our micro-services systems

:chefs_kiss:



it gets even better:

> We also found that the bug in the code was inadvertently remediated when engineering completed a user-experience enhancement project that collapsed multiple random value generation microservices into a single service.


Some might see horror but I see a few genius level engineers 'working' 1hour a month rebuilding the same getrandom syscall.

They hiring? :]


> multiple random value generation microservices

Wot. They had _multiple_ services generating random numbers?


It might mean multiple instances of the same code (which would explain why there might be commonalities)?


As we all know, software isn't software unless it can immediately scale to having 12 billion users.
