It is weird to read people write about microservices (or some other tech fad) as if it is this otherworldly thing that requires instruction and training. So many words dedicated to describing the supposedly bad old days!
All this stuff is just another aspect in the life of a practitioner of computing. A proper expert should see these things not as a fad, but as a collection of techniques that can be added or subtracted to at will depending on the prevailing need. It's silly to declare any of these fads dead or alive, they're just simply techniques that ...people... have bundled together under a common label
I think after a certain amount of years you start realizing every new fad is just a rehash of some old ideas. (You ought to notice this as you get more experienced).
