When we lose sight of our domain

Great technologies, programming languages and tools are used to build software systems. That's good and right and it's also a lot of fun. To often we lose sight of the fact that the decisive factor for the success of our software is not the technology, but the domain. Have we implemented the requirements in a way that they will fit for the user? Have we structured our software in such a way that it can be extended by further functionalities without a lot of modification work? Can new developers quickly familiarize themselves with our software? Does our software scale if more and more users start using it? In this talk I will discuss the nine biggest misunderstandings that keep shifting our focus away from the domain to the technology, although we know that this is counterproductive.
