Evolution of Domain-Driven Design
Since the birth of software development in the 1960s, developers strived to create better applications to deal with the complexity of the world. During the following 20 years, many reports emerged pointing out the inefficiency of software systems and their design processes. We also went through the infamous software crisis that led to many incidents, such as the Therac-25 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25).
One of the main problems during that time was that software development followed a “code-and-fix” approach. That is, developing software without a clear view of the project and the problem to solve. This led to incomplete software that quite always went over budget and missing deadlines seemed to be normal.
The turning point arrived in 1968 during the NATO conference where the issue was acknowledged, and people started laying the groundwork for software engineering as a formal discipline (https://docslib.org/doc/9230794...
