On: Adopting Microservices at Netflix

I agree this sounds on the surface like it's very liberal but in effect it's stifling. Since there are no concrete outlines the onus is on you to figure things out. That sounds great but then like you said, who decides "best interest"?

It's an ideological wet dream. It's like saying, you can make any choice, you have the freedom, just make sure you make the "right choice".

Not to mention what happens when netflix's best interest conflicts with outside interests.

This is exactly what happens in the situations I've been in. It's miserable when you don't turn your attention to greasing the political game daily.
