DDD is something that most shops arrive at naturally without having to force paradigms to fit.

Other shops dont arrive at it naturally and it is just friction all the time trying to apply a practice without groking it.

I've always felt that DDD is more of a meta-paradigm than a paradigm per-se, and shops that "arrive" at it have actually always been themselves examples of the practice in itself, as opposed to being instances of itself.

Sorry, I'm actually just bluffing, what is DDD?

Domain Driven Design

You got me there
