One cause of misapplying tactical patterns is learning. When people start learning something, they do it badly and in inappropriate contexts. The solutions to this are:
A. Don't learn things.
B. Dedicate some amount of time to learn something in a sandbox before using it on the job.
C. Once you've learned something well enough to see the error of your ways, dedicate some amount of time to clean up your old work.
- necovek 5y agoI know A is a tongue-in-cheek, but I think you underestimate human's ability to apply things by learning from good learning materials. B and C are a single thing, and unfortunately, C does not happen, which is why any particular methodology gets a bad rep. And it's obviously already happening with DDD (judging by the polarized sentiments around here). And finally, while I do believe abstraction is the ultimate tool of the human mind (and mathematics is the purest form of abstraction we are capable of), I do not think it suits all brains equally, and not everybody will be equally capable of ever getting the right understanding. Basically, your architecture can be _too smart_ if you are looking to hire actual, real-world developers and software engineers, and have them be efficient.
