We're quietly curating these connections. Curious to see what patterns emerge across the full collection.

Why Raw RICE Fails on Internal Platforms
RICE still works as a shared prioritisation language. On internal platforms, the failure starts when teams treat raw reach math as the answer instead of adding a domain-risk pass and documenting the rationale.
Domain Bugs Cost More Than Code Bugs
Domain-Driven Design, ubiquitous language, and bounded contexts matter because product teams ship the wrong workflow when legal, product, and engineering mean different things by the same word.
If you're in Amsterdam on the 7th and curious about this space, come along. There's food, drinks, and a panel discussion at the end.

The advice process doesn't give you worse decisions. It shows you the conversations you were never having.

Your DDD folder structure:
Aggregates/ ValueObjects/ Repositories/ Services/
This tells developers nothing about what the system does. It's pattern taxonomy without business alignment.
Flip it:
Wallet/ Order/ Promotion/ Account/
Group by business, not by patterns. The Aggregate is already your consistency boundary — make it your module boundary too.
The folder tree is the first thing a new dev reads. Make it speak business, not textbook.
If every priority call feels like a coin flip, you’re missing strategic domain modelling. @otaviojava shows how subdomains clarify decisions, focus effort, and tame complexity.

Which is ultimately the deeper question: how do we change the conditions, not just the practices?

Something a bit special is happening at FlowCon France in two weeks: I will be on stage at the same conference with my co-authors of Collaborative Software Design, just not at the same time.

"Programmieren ist längst weniger das Schreiben von Code als vielmehr das Verstehen von Systemen. Jede Codebasis wird weit öfter gelesen als erweitert. Und genau dort zeigt sich ein häufiges strukturelles Defizit: Das „Warum“ der Entscheidungen ist meist unsichtbar."
