> Think of any baller software project you use. Is it VS Code? Chrome? GitHub? NGINX? Do any of these use DDD?

That's a fantastic question. Something I've often wondered too.

I'm a fan of DDD but it's like saying "I'm a fan of hammers"... hammers have their place and there is no other tool like them... for the thing they are good at.

I used to be all "omg <FoM> is the only way to do things" but nowadays, I tend not to get too hung up on prescribed, named processes and aim for decoupling where it makes sense (for the most part!)
