Domain-driven design (DDD) is a useful approach that provides excellent guidelines for modeling and building systems, but it is a means to an end, not an end in itself. While the concepts are valid, you lose a lot if you limit yourself to using them only: There actually is a life beyond DDD.

Während eines Kundenprojekts mussten fast durchgehend sehr umfangreiche Oberflächen mitsamt Backend implementiert werden, was zu Beginn in sehr großen Pull-Requests und Merge-Konflikten resultierte.

Innovation in the web without sacrificing accessibility

We’ve truly stretched the boundaries of what is possible on the web. However, to do this we’ve sacrificed semantic HTML and made our applications inaccessible to a huge amount of different users.
