After he talked about throwing away code, he started hammering on the idea of understanding your domain. I don't think you can program without rich domain knowledge, if you are, then the software you write is very narrowly focused. My idea of programming has shifted quite dramatically over the last couple months towards almost a hyperfocus on the domain, the data representation of that domain and the hierarchy of abstractions that we use to represent the ideas in the domain and the physicality in the data (and some extent the algorithms). A computer program is a great way to let you know that you still have parts of the domain to understand. We should be working in systems that are finely tuned TO the domain, so that we can play with concepts as easy as declaring self evident facts, so that we can constantly be throwing it away.
