I kid you not but it was a micrcoservice that added two numbers! This micrcoservice existed because management didn't want to clobber "specific business" logic in the formula of the addition, i.e., they don't want this service to own the arithmetic of calculating the two operands. We ended up having this service calling other 2 new created services to get the 2 operands then add them up and return. That's all. I remember the internal and cross-org discussions lasted a few weeks with several staff engineers of those orgs involved. Even sometimes, VPs of the orgs would show up to listen. The discussions were mostly about whether those 2 new services should computer the 2 operands or call yet another service! We have a few document reviews, design reviews and roll out plan.
I was pretty bored to dead but it was some sort a promote project for a few people including myself. I couldn't stand it at some point and ask my skip manager to help. My skip pulled me out and said that I didn't have to spend time in this shit show. But it did hurt my promotion case for what it's worth.
