yeah, still don't get what is all the fuzz is about. defining symbols systematically (e.g. with some hierarchy) and having constants mapping symbols to values - all is a no-brainer
Well you could distill most "modern" methods to one subtitle of The Mythical Man-Month book: Plan the system for change.
TDD, DDD, extreme programming etc come from the same observation: the client does not know their needs. Even if they do, those could change. So you want to build systems which are easy to change. And we still get thousands of pages published in the form of books or blog post for something written and explained in a book almost 50 years ago.
The fuzz is about writing 2,000 words on a simple concept in impenetrable jargon in order to better demonstrate the thought leadership of your practice and the need for deep consultation to translate the aforementioned impenetrable jargon into simple language so mere plebes can implement the advice.
Not true. This kind of comment is exactly why most of us flock to this site. It's important to point out when the emperor wears no clothes. There's already an army of self-promotipn types forcing this nonsense onto everyone.
