After more than 7 years of intense Event Storming usage, in different contexts and countries, I often had to face the same problem: “This map of our context is great, can we now start coding” ? I learn the hard way that trying to build software artifacts from the result […]
Practicing and teaching Test Driven Development (TDD) since many years now, I start to see where the point of acceptation of this practice is: when you accept that the problem is not the method, but the way you are coding, and that this method is just a revealer of bad […]
After a decade of coding, I tend to believe that being able to discover and implement correctly bounded context is one of the main values I can bring to a company in my daily job. As a consultant I have the chance to do it in different gigs since a […]
In 2014 I had the chance to join a workshop on Event Storming by Alberto Brandolini at BuildStuff. After that I started to practice it intensively at work and was quickly convinced that it was a very interesting asset to do my job. Indeed, as a consultant I meet many […]
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 […]
Do you know the “I talk about it so often that I believe I already wrote a blog post about it” effect? It happens when you talk about something so often that you are sure to have a blog post somewhere to explain it more deeply 😉 It happens to […]
Believe it nor not, one of the main reasons why software exists is to help companies to make money. These companies earn money because they have a business. Usually they sell something to customers, in order to solve a problem for them. A software developer that doesn’t care about the […]
The more I work using Domain Driven Design in my daily job, the more I face how hard it is to teach. What’s the matter here? Why is DDD so often misunderstood? Of course, we can just consider that it’s a complex thing, hence requiring lots of knowledge and practices […]
I’m a big fan of James Coplien. I appreciate his controversial point of view about Unit Testing, even if I don’t agree with him. Recently he tweeted about this article explaining why integration tests are much better than unit tests. Let’s explore it together. Unit test problem “You write code and […]
Recently, I read a few posts about AIs, including Uncle Bob’s post, in response to Grady Booch (about this tweet). I think the fact that some people believe AIs might replace developers leads to interesting questions about what is programming? What is programming? As Bob recalls us, Alan Turing defined programming as a sequence […]
