A quick reminder that behavior belongs close to data when you want object-oriented design to matter.
Examining the persistent divide between architectural ideals (Rich Domain Models, DDD, Clean Architecture) and real-world procedural production code.
Bounded Contexts vs. Monolithic Global Database Schemas
Analyzing the divergence between relational database normalization (single shared global tables) and Domain-Driven Design (context-specific models where the same noun represents different entities across Bounded Contexts).
Declarative vs. Imperative Microservices Communication & Orchestrated Systems
A comprehensive synthesis bridging Microservices, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Declarative vs. Imperative communication, Sync vs. Async patterns, and Agile delivery.
A foundational critique of object-oriented design and accidental complexity
Brian Will makes a structured, provocative case against OOP, arguing that combining state and behavior into encapsulation graphs produces rigid webs of mutation, complex patterns, and maintenance overhead.
