Words: Domain-Driven Development

Today, I stumbled upon a simple read on Reddit that serves as a reminder for both new and seasoned programmers about the importance of Domain-Driven Development (DDD). The post shared this article by Google: Write Change-Resilient Code with Domain-Driven Design. While it just touches on DDD, it's good enough to raise awareness.

In case DDD is new to you, here’s a brief description from Wikipedia:

Domain-Driven Development is a major software design approach that focuses on modeling software to match a domain based on input from that domain’s experts. DDD opposes the idea of having a single, unified model. Instead, it divides a large system into bounded contexts, each with its own model.

For a more in-depth exploration of DDD, here are some useful articles:

From my perspective, the DDD concept allows for simpler collaboration between technical teams and domain experts through the use of a consistent language. It also reduces the complexity of large systems by breaking them down into well-defined business functions. Finally, this modular approach makes it easier for technical teams to design scalable architectures through individual services or modules.

Words: You Aren't Gonna Need It (YAGNI)

Another daily muse. It’s not surprising that our technical team continues to discover unused functions within a particular feature library. Although the names of these functions may sound promising, the logic inside is often outdated, as they haven’t been refactored to align with the current context of the feature. Some of these functions were written ages ago. This is where I need to borrow a concept from my university days, when my mates and I often applied Extreme Programming (XP) principles in our software projects. The core idea: Don’t add functionality until it’s actually needed. This is essentially the You Aren't Gonna Need It (YAGNI) philosophy. To quote Ron Jeffries, a co-founder of XP, as taken from Wikipedia: "Always implement things when you actually need them, never when you just foresee that you [will] need them."

Finds: "Microservices vs. Monoliths" - A Reddit Discussion

Here’s another interesting discussion I stumbled upon on Reddit. The debate between "Microservices vs. Monoliths" is a frequent one, but in my opinion, the context matters—both approaches have their own merits depending on the situation. I plan to write a more in-depth entry on this topic in the near future. Enjoy reading:  Microservices vs. Monoliths: Why Startups Are Getting "Nano-Services" All Wrong
