Tech — Work — Ramblings

by Mike Kalvas

I see you're not using JavaScript (which is awesome!) on one of my pages that uses it to provide a better experience. If you see something not working right, please let me know. My site should work exactly the same without it apart from any exceptions noted here.

I use prism.min.js to do syntax highlighting. It clocks in at 23kb total in size. Since the majority of the writing I do involves coding, I personally find this to be a worthwhile trade off. If you choose to keep this disabled, rest assured, the code examples are still there, they just may have some extra whitespace and obviously no syntax highlighting.

I do no tracking at all and am a zealot about keeping my pages as small as possible. If you're reading a page of mine that transfers more than about 250kb over the wire (including my most gratuitous indulgence — fonts) I've messed up.

So, if you'd like to have a slightly richer experience, consider enabling javascript for my site and I promise your trust won't be misplaced.

#source #wip #new

Eric Evans's seminal book about domain driven design in 202109061338 Software Engineering. Also referred to as The Blue Book among DDD aficionados.

As an outcome of reading this book, I created a 202511151207 Domain modeling exercise to help me apply these concepts.

Part 1 - Putting the Domain Model to Work

Definition of 202511151148 Domain

Chapter 1: Crunching Knowledge

202511160842 Ingredients of effective modeling
Effective domain modelers are knowledge crunchers. They take a torrent of information and probe for the relevant trickle. They try one organizing idea after another, searching for the simple view that makes sense of the mass.¹ (pp. 13)
Domain 202109060836 Knowledge should accumulate in the model.
