Martin Fowler explains why software developers must understand the business domains they work in to avoid catastrophic system failures.

#MartinFowler #SoftwareEngineering #DomainDrivenDesign #ProgrammingWisdom #TechTalk #SoftwareFailures #DevAdvice #CodeBetter #CADFailure #RealWorldSoftware Boost your coding skills by joining Scrimba: scrimba.com?via=DevToolsMadeSimple Why is domain knowledge essential for software developers? In this powerful clip, Martin Fowler shares a hard-hitting truth: when programmers choose not to understand the domains they work in, the consequences can be severe—even fatal. From gene sequencing projects to the catastrophic failure of the 1992 London Ambulance Service CAD system, Fowler explains how misalignment between tech teams and real-world workflows leads to broken systems, user frustration, and even public harm. Whether you're a junior dev or a tech lead, this is a wake-up call to engage with the people, problems, and processes behind the code. Source: youtube.com/watch?v=Z8aECe4lp44
