#2Maybe update the title to "Domain Driven Design is Overrated", because this article has nothing to do with the Data Display Debugger.
Re: DDD Is Overrated
#3One thing I heard recently, that I found pretty true when role-playing in my mind, is that most of the design methodologies get like... 90% of their value from forcing _a_ methodology onto people.
The barebones "top-down"/"bottom-up" strategies most of us start up with is basically no good at forcing us to plan things out. But other strategies cause design errors to bubble up more quickly, so we can fix them, ship stuff that's right the first time etc.
Anyways I guess I just feel like you can totally mix-and-match design methodologies to your problem space, so long as you're actually applying it seriously enough (and have some agreement with stakeholders about it). But I do feel like too much discussion on these topics focus on failure cases and "false practice", and don't really end with actionable advice.

Re: DDD Is Overrated
#5tl;dr but i wholeheartedly disagree. i can live without the lingo but the concepts are incredibly important. especially in large and complex projects. even though, in essence, it is all merely about encapsulation of data and actions that can be performed with/on them within context. it is good to have some general understanding of what is actually being done, conceptually. and having a philosophy with a name helps.

Something tells me that in 2021 a lot more people will identify DDD to mean Domain-Driven Design than the concept that you mentioned
Re: DDD Is Overrated
#8It seems that their primary gripe relates to the naming of certain concepts. The article does not support the headline.

#9If anything, i find that DDD is underrated and underused. But i can totally imagine projects where it goes completely over the top, like anything (frameworks, patterns, microservices, Redux -oh god Redux-, whatever)
Happened the exact same thing with agility when it became Agile™
