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.

202511151207 Domain modeling exercise

An attempt at structuring a domain modeling exercise for a team.

Pre-requisites

Who will be in the exercise? Who are the domain experts? Who are the developers who will own the implementation? The ideal group to do true domain modeling is domain experts and developers. It's possible to do subgroups iteratively until there's a time to do a larger full group exercise.

Outline

Overview of this exercise, discussion of relevant ideas depending on team's familiarity with domain modeling.
Domain knowledge sharing

Overview and definitions

Ensure everyone knows what exactly these terms mean and what we're trying to achieve in this exercise.

Definitions: 202511151148 Domain, model, 202511151211 Ubiquitous language
Outcome: the next iteration (or creation of the first iteration) of a high-level model for a particular domain that can be used to start or iterate on its implementation

Domain knowledge share

Start with turning 202110231457 Tacit knowledge into 202110231459 Explicit knowledge. Externalize all the thoughts and ideas we have about this domain at a high level.

This portion should not last too long. We know that #wip
