Come come now. That's the very first bullet point of the article. The article did a very good job of giving DDD its due. I don't think it's fair that the article went out of the way to define what it meant by DDD in a Steel Man fashion and this response attacks the first and easiest to attack point of the article in a Straw Man fashion!

In fact, the comment I made wasn't even about DDD, it was more about how I appreciated the construction of the argument. Agree or disagree (I happen to be a fan of DDD) I learned a lot from the article and I wish more articles were constructed like this.



It is the very first point because I didn’t feel like debugging the whole article in a hn comment.

The rest of the article is criticizable too, the recurrent issue being that it is making non-technical recommendations into technical guideline items.


Has the meaning of "straw man" shifted to mean "defeating an idea?" I've noticed this trend lately in comments.
