Announcing Domain-Driven Design Exercises

How we discover and organise domains in an existing product

Software companies and consultants like to flex their Domain Driven Design (DDD) muscles by throwing around terms like Domain, Subdomain and Bounded Context. But what lies behind these buzzwords, and how these apply to customers' diverse environments and needs, are often not as clear. As it turns out it takes a collaborative effort between stakeholders and development team(s) over a longer period of time on a regular basis to get them right.

Running Hybrid Workshops

When modernizing or building systems, one major challenge is finding out what to build. In Pre-Covid times on-site workshops were a main source to get an idea about ‘the right thing’. But during Covid everybody got used to working remotely, so now the question can be raised: Is it still worth having on-site, physical workshops?

Creating a Cross-Domain Capable ML Pipeline

As classifying images into categories is a ubiquitous task occurring in various domains, a need for a machine learning pipeline which can accommodate for new categories is easy to justify. In particular, common general requirements are to filter out low-quality (blurred, low contrast etc.) images, and to speed up the learning of new categories if image quality is sufficient. In this blog post we compare several image classification models from the transfer learning perspective.

5 lessons from running a (remote) design systems book club

Last year I gifted a design systems book I had been reading to a friend and she suggested starting a mini book club so that she’d have some accountability to finish reading the book. I took her up on the offer and so in late spring, our design systems book club was born. But how can you make the meetings fun and engaging even though you're physically separated? Here are a couple of things I learned from running my very first remote book club with my friend!
