Nothing beats the ChatGPT we all have inside. Been long hours writing and as soon as I focused I stopped using the 'machine'. And since I did I found my own voice and ideas and words just flow, in a way nobody could have put it better. Seriously, the same with writing code: we're the originals.

I'm writing an internal document inspired by a lot of things #DDD and EDA when it came to explaining Aggregates it all lost clarity and linearity... you don't say... so I coined the new term Cohesive Unit of State (CUS) that has a lifecycle, invariants, and ensure transactional consistency CUS™️

Do LLMs help with Legacy Code? This is an interesting problem for the pattern recognition machines. They work like your mobile keyboard, but on steroids. They continuously suggest the next most likely word, based on what happened before. Recognised patterns will be repeated. (pictured by OpenAi)

What are your thoughts about an inverse Conway manouvre for hexagonal/onion architecture? Has anybody tried? = a dedicated team for domain modelling + a dedicated team for app&infra development #DDD #TeamTopologies

100

Giovanni Chiodi @giovan2i.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

and for the (functional) #typescript #DDD -ers, a tip: when modelling types we're faced with a choice: use typescript and lose the types at runtime, or use schemas like in zod and keep them at runtime but polluting the code with a dependency and making it harder to read and write OR, another choice

110

Giovanni Chiodi @giovan2i.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

another question for the #DDD -ers: does it ever happen in your projects that the domain layer gets bypassed by later developers (with transaction scripts) because they have no idea what's inside and how it works and why? How to reduce the chance of this happening?

010

Giovanni Chiodi @giovan2i.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

for the #DDD -ers and #TeamTopologies -ers out there, do you ever structure your delivery team in a "domain" team (working on the domain model and the domain layer) and a separate "app dev" team (bringing the domain layer further attaching it to an application and infra layer)?

I find it very fascinating and scary how software is becoming so urgently political. For some time "agility" thought society to deal with complexity and emergence, a lesson never fully learned. But now tech promises tools for predictively governing complex systems, and we've gone full circle.

The joy of Jupyter notebooks and @deno.land. I knew for a while that a Jupyter kernel was built into Deno, but never had reason to use it, but doing some experimentation with LLMs and RAGs seemed like the right opportunity and what a joy.

Do "requirements" really exist in software development? I tend to think there are only "problems to solve". It's very problematic when developers think of their "tasks" as instructions to implement. First, AI could do that. Second, it implies some genius has already figured out what needs to be done

Legacy code projects struggle before coding even begins. Which features are implemented, where they are located, and at what maturity level, is often unclear. In short, a gap exists between the business domain and what is implemented in code. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TKq...

A rule of thumb in using #typescript (or any other tech with "advanced" capabilities): - think of the most junior devs in the team - could they do it? - how easy would it be for them to learn? Always stick to the basics on everything. Don't over-engineer.

Every public action on Bluesky is available via a stream of events known as the firehose. By monitoring the firehose for repeated text, it is sometimes possible to quickly detect groups of spam accounts as they spawn.
