Episode notes
Level Three: Algebraic Modeling
- Algebraic modeling is an advanced stage in domain modeling that focuses on operation composition.
- It enhances code clarity and expressiveness beyond basic data modeling.
Operations Before Data Structures
- Choosing data structures after designing operations helps avoid poor initial choices.
- The breakthrough is to prioritize difficult operations to inform structure decisions.
Designing Operation Composition
- Algebraic modeling focuses on designing how operations compose, not just on single operations.
- This reveals deeper expressivity and understanding in software models.
