In this episode, we host Marco Heimeshoff. The interview starts with the heuristic “Optimise for future potential” from the DDD Heuristics repository (https://www.dddheuristics.com/design-heuristics/optimise-for-future-potential/). Marco will take us through the journey of optimising for future potential, where he explains the need for boundaries as an enabler to optimise different parts of a system. We explore the idea of discovering boundaries and how semantics plays a crucial role in the discovery process.
