CodeSOD: Driven Development:
"Julien joined a team which bragged about their use of DDD. Everything they did followed DDD best practices, they said. The fact that they piled up all sorts of related buzzwords when talking about it should have been a red flag." https://thedailywtf.com/articles/driven-development

We should always be wary of "(.+)-driven development". Things like test-driven development, or domain-driven development are fine, but they're also frequently approached from a perspective of dogma, which creates its own terrible outcomes. But let's talk about domain-driven development. Without getting too bogged down into the details of the approach, the idea is pretty straightforward: describe you domain model without reference to any lower-level concerns, so you can effectively write your domain logic in an abstract language tuned to your specific needs. In other words, it's just a pretty good practice. DDD offers tools and techniques for doing it, and as stated, can be adopted as a point of dogma instead of technique.
From the FT’s comments section:
Someone once pointed out to me that the Whoop, Aura Ring, Apple Watch etc are the modern day equivalent of the Tamagotchi except that nowadays, we’re the annoying stupid thing we’re trying to keep alive. https://giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/809dfad7-5ae3-44f9-b5a0-2755a49c43b5

Finished reading: Meltdown by Duncan Mavin 📚
A pretty exciting read - the story of Credit Suisse’s demise. Quite an obvious basket case in hindsight! https://micro.blog/books/9781639368709
