Funny, in my mind "business object" is the least important thing out of what I wrote. Imagine it's the 1990s and you are coding some hot thing to drop into cgi-bin. My list now changes to be:
* An HTTP request
* A perl script (or C binary)
* A database transaction
Things like DDD exist to assist humans, not computers.
EDIT: in place of "database transaction" we might also say "reading from persistent durable storage" (like a file system).
- nivertech 4y ago1. Your list of fundamentals is what was my level of understanding in the early 90s. 2. Everything exists to assist humans, even when assisting animals and inanimate objects;)
- belfalas 4y agoI am not sure what argument you are trying to make or if you are just being snarky at this point. In any case, it seems we disagree and won't come to an understanding. So, wish you the best and take care.
- 88j88 4y agoYou just gave me PTSD; a coworker (another principal architect), who felt that my strategy was flawed, simply gave as his counter-point "I've been doing this since the early 90's, and I've failed with that strategy over and over in the past" instead of providing any answer to my 2 dozen points in support of my decision.
- nivertech 4y agoI'm not that rude. All I pointed out is that I also thought like the GP when I was a junior dev (even taking into account that I was programming since being a kid). It was only relatively late in my career that I started to learn and think about the basics. The real world has an surprising amount of detail and the software tries to simulate the real world. First I studied the actor model, then agent-based modeling, then domain modeling.
