Hey, thanks for the comment. I hope this doesn't seem like we say it's the only valid way to build applications. We mention throughout the book where some patterns make sense, and where they're not needed. We also write about more patterns than just DDD and CQRS, so we don't include these in the book's title.

Book's title is fine with me, post's title isn't. Felt like clickbait once I realized its promoting patterns that aren't useful in most of "business applications built in Go". If you already decided to use CQRS/DDD for whatever reason - yeah, its a decent resource.

I don't really agree with this. I would say most of the patterns are quite useful in majority of business applications. Unless you're dealing with trivial domains, but I believe it's not that common.

Describing the book's content as DDD/CQRS is too specific, as we touch on many different patterns.

We'll just have to disagree here. You can combine 10 guides into a "book" and if the whole thing ends up being about building an app using a certain approach, then in my eyes that's what the book is about.

Perhaps my standards are too high - still felt like clickbait. Especially considering that you're requiring signing up to a newsletter to get access to it.
