Stéphane Dalbera posted today: “This quote elegantly describes the true art of software development. It’s not enough to dream up bold strategies or to architect utopias on whiteboards. The challenge lies in translating those strategic desires into tactical realities – code that runs, systems that scale, domains that make sense.

This is where Domain-Driven Design (DDD) shines.

DDD teaches us to model software around the business – not the other way around.

It forces alignment between strategic intent and technical execution.

With a shared language, bounded contexts, and tactical patterns like aggregates or repositories, it helps developers shape software that is not only technically sound, but strategically relevant.

Great developers don’t just write code – they create leverage.

They make architecture reflect intent.
They make ideas executable.
They make strategy run.

Because in the end, progress comes not from dreaming big, but from building small – in the right direction.” Link
