Metaphors are everywhere. In our life, in our job, and even in our source code.
We are unconsciously driven by them when shaping our vision and understanding of the world. For a Domain-Driven Design project to be successful, carefully choosing the right metaphors to describe our models and creating a shared understanding and a common interpretation of the systems at stake is therefore crucial.
In this talk, Nicolò talked about the dangers that we face when our design process is unconsciously driven by metaphors. He shows how by bringing metaphors to a conscious level and dominating them, enabling us to gain faster insights on our models, communicate those insights effectively and dramatically improve our ubiquitous language.
Did you notice? This description contains no less than 13 metaphors.
