When we make decisions in life, we tend to think that we are making wise, rational choices. But this is often not the case. On the contrary, irrationality is the instinct of human beings, and it is the recessive power that truly dominates human behaviors and decision-makings. However, these irrational behaviors are neither random nor meaningless. Instead, they are systematic, predictable and controllable.

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) teaches us how to make good software, but it also teaches us how to use the object-oriented technology. Good software should be based on domain-driven design. However, it is difficult to adopt DDD in the software development process. Even experienced developers will have a hard time finding the right way to implement DDD. In other words, DDD gives us a whole new perspective on designing software, but it also leaves developers with a big puzzle: How do you put domain-driven design into practice?

As we know, the production process of software is: analysis, design, programming, testing, and deployment. In the past, the analysis and design of software were separated. As a result, the results of software requirement analysis cannot be directly designed and programmed, while the code that can be programmed and run distorts the requirements, causing customers to find that many functions are not what they want only after running the software, and the software cannot quickly follow the changes of requirements.
