• Which collection interface to use? - Let’s talk about when to use which collection type and why. [Enterprise Craftsmanship]
• Critically Engaging With Models (DDD Europe Keynote) - Here’s the video of Rebecca Wirfs-Brock & my keynote at Domain-Driven Design Europe 2022, where we talk about the ideas presented in our essay “Critically Engaging with Models”, also available as an e-book on Leanpub. Watch on YouTube Abstract Models, whether for a software system, a development process, diseases, political systems, or otherwise, are a way to look at (a part of) the world. They make a choice about what is important, what categories we classify things in, what we see, what’s invisible, what’s valued, or even what’s valid. They are reductionist, that is, they only show a selection of the subject they’re describing. And they are biased: They implicitly reflect the assumptions, constraints, and values of the model’s author. Most of the time, when you adopt a model created by someone else, you assimilate it into your worldview without much thought. [Mathias Verraes]
