DDD is not enough: the future of software development - Dave West - DDD Europe 2020

[@kokoloism]

This is the kind of approach to software development that I am trying to convey since I first met DDD. It is all about design, not about engineering.

This totally aligns with my experience. Programmers want "somebody" to give them an exact specification of what they should do, and they will code it up. They don't think of themselves as "somebody". You know all that architecture and flowchart stuff. I did digital hardware for microcontrollers. I ended up programming them as well, even though that was a much lower value skill, because software people just didn't want to learn anything about hardware. Not a knock on software people, it just makes more sense for software professionals to write software than hardware developers. I saw this same thing in accounting (money shows up everywhere). In anything other than pure software, you have two domains, software and the domain the software is written for. If you write software for an auto parts store, it might be good to work in one for a few months. Then there is the whole problem of the "typical user". If your domain expert isn't typical, your software won't sell. If your automobile expert loves Pontiac Aztecs, that's a problem. That's why testing with a Minimum Viable Product is so important. You can actually tell whether or not people will buy the software you are developing.

Great talk! Before Newton, people competed to see who could calculate Pi more accurately by fitting a polygon with more and more corners into a circle. Now people are competing to invent new types of software locks and faster algorithms...

How many of you wrote a business book? ; I see how this question makes sense in context of DDD.

how is John Connor? should send me a link about him pelease?

John Connor is busy fighting terminators, dude. You could help him. join up today. get that red arm band... Are you really Reese?

Very condescending talk

Yet, the bottom line stands true : "stop designing solution without understanding the problem(s)".
