I mainly did as I was told. In large political organisations following 
your own vision can be problematic. You have to fight for a vision.

I've no idea why using IPC to send megabytes of data between different 
processes is wrong. That is what many service-orientated architectures 
do. The moment you have a persistence service it is likely to happen.

Although to be fair we very rarely used pipes, directly, almost never. 
It was always something like REST or message queues.
