I have no doubt than many jobs are complicated, but I’m convinced that software development is also a really violent one. Mostly because it does not seem violent at all at first sight. But let’s dig a bit in our world to have a better understanding of this “geek job”. […]
In a recent article I explained why I think we should all be Domain Driven.I get some interesting feedbacks on the “business sucks” syndrome. Indeed in this previous article my point was to make technical teams aware of the necessity for business to change in order to constantly fit its […]
