Episode notes
Architecture Imposes Fixed Constraints
- Architecture means fixed decisions outside the problem scope that introduce constraints.
- These decisions affect how you solve your domain problems but shouldn't be mingled with domain logic.
Keep Domain Model Pure
- Your domain model should remain pure without embedding technical complexities like databases or Ajax.
- Keeping architectural concerns separate helps maintain domain clarity and focus.
Model Ajax States Explicitly
- Eric models Ajax request states as three: unloaded, loading, loaded, where loaded also contains the returned value.
- This helps manage asynchronous complexity systematically, improving reliability.
