Guessing they’re talking about Power-On Self Test rather than the HTTP verb. I’m assuming you were thinking of the latter given you mentioned a software engineer.

Yeah, it’s pretty crazy

They made a TV mini-series about it a few years ago. It’s called The Gold. If you’re in the UK, it’s on BBC iPlayer. If not, then there may be other means of acquiring it!

Though someone did steal 3,000 kg of gold one time.

If they just have the guests stay in even numbered rooms, then they’ll always have an infinite number of rooms free.

As already mentioned, the blue book by Evic Evans is a good reference, but it's a ittle dry. Vaughn Vernon has a book, "Implementing Domain-Driven Design" that is a little easier to get into.

Personally, I found that I only really grokked it when I worked on a project that used event-sourcing a few years back. When you don't have the crutch of just doing CRUD with a relational database, you're forced to think about business workflows - and that's really the key to properly understanding Domain-Driven Design.

I’ve always understood DRY to be about not duplicating concepts rather than not duplicating code.

In the example here, you have separate concepts that happen to use very similar code right now. It’s not repeating yourself as the concepts are not the same. The real key is understanding that, which to be fair, is mentioned in the article.

IMO, this is where techniques like Domain-Driven Design really shine as they put the business concepts at the forefront of things.

If you’re up for reading a book, I can recommend “Healing the Shame That Binds You” to get more insight into this sort of stuff

That’s dedication. Where are you up to now?
