Abstract
In the last decade, I’ve journeyed through OOP, functional programming, TDD, microservices, DevOps, etc etc etc. They all have their crucial contributions to how we write software, but one stands at the center.
It’s Domain Driven Design.
In this talk, I’ll describe DDD through the lens of several other paradigms — from Wardley mapping and feminism through XP and security, see the core principles that drive this movement and how it is also present in DDD.
Then, I’ll take the core principle of DDD as a lens on something bigger: how we work, how we live, what makes us human.
Use our understanding of software systems to gain understanding of ourselves.
