Have you ?

I've been a ddg user full time for 15+ years and I did see it improve quite lot over time. But quality dropped when Yandex was cut off.

Lately, I've noticed YET AGAIN being trapped in a bubble with results being to clever for their own good ... I did leave Google PRECISELY for the bubble effect ...

Not even mentioned the AI shenanigans with ridiculous results at times. DDG is not immune to enshitification. Way too many managers thinks they know better than the user ... they don't.

Well, I don't how it is these days, but it hasn't always been describable as "Healthy".

I find the emphasis on micro-service distracting.

I get that it is particularly valuable in that scenario by treating other services as "external API", but monolith also do call "external API" and delegate work to async tasks. The principles discussed here API are interesting beyond just micro-services while being lighter and simpler than Durable Execution.
