Domain Knowledge or a lack thereof · Jacques Mattheij

I believe that a lack of domain knowledge is the root cause of a lot of very bad software that gets developed and I think that it is up to computer programmers and their managers to deal with this. Acquiring domain knowledge is an essential component in the development of software that really works well for its users.

    “Domain” in this case refers to the space you’re building software in. Not the website name. For simplicity its kinda like business logic. For example if youre working at DoorDash your domain would involve the rules around orders, restaurants, etc.

    The term was popularized by Eric Evans’ book Domain Driven Design.
