@rebeccawb 's work in various areas of software and software design has informed and influenced so many of us.
"Designing Object-Oriented Software" was foundational! https://archive.org/details/designingobjecto00wirf
"Object Design: Roles, Responsibilities, and Collaborations" likewise! https://openlibrary.org/books/OL7407273M/Object_Design
The essay we'll be discussing is from "Design and Reality," by @rebeccawb and @mathiasverraes

The patterns community has benefitted from *years* of @rebeccawb ‘s work (writing, teaching, consulting, collaborating) and community fostering. The DDD community likewise.
It’s exciting to have this discussion of some of Rebecca’s recent work (in collaboration with @mathiasverraes ) be led by Rebecca!
fun to see @rebeccawb 's
RDD being mentioned as both an early and a current influence
