Care about the domain, not about implementing all the patterns and principles under the sun

A perspective on domain-driven design arguing that developers too often focus on tactical patterns, project structures, and abstractions (like command buses, repositories, factories) rather than on the actual domain. Using a concrete incident-tracking example, the author contrasts a domain-focused approach using ubiquitous language with an over-engineered pattern-heavy approach, concluding that simpler code aligned with the domain and user language delivers more value than blindly applying DDD tactical patterns.
