The Netflix blogs are EXTREMELY well written and convincing. The problem is, everyone that listens to them, ends up coding up a solution they don't need.
RX - suddenly you have one team member writing a bunch of RX stuff that used to be fairly simple. Now it's all RX flows and no one understands it.
Retrying like mad - Now you have random lock ups because something is slightly misconfigured and instead of revealing why, some process is busy exponentially backing off for 6 hours.
Chaos Monkey - Probably the most needed, but actually not used anywhere. lol
I'm not saying they are not good ideas, but half the time you end up with someone understanding 5% of the problem and applying it to everything.
