One of the timeless 11 Essentials of Software Design, Architecture & Testing
If you don't, you're going to make a mess, guaranteed.
(explained)
Context (in The Metaphysical realm)

Every client app uses some form of the MVP (model-view-presenter) pattern.
The challenge is that the M is responsible for way too much.
As a result, developers don't know *which tools* are responsible for which tasks.
Tasks of the model:
- Providing reactivity to state changes
- Holding onto state
- Updating remote data and providing async states (loading, success, error)
- Expressing model behavior. Also known as domain (interaction) logic.

π‘Why I Use Apollo Client as a Replacement for Redux and React Context [thread]
As you may know, I've been writing about software design and architecture for the better part of a year now, and starting at Apollo last year, I realized that there was something special about Apollo Client but couldn't quite put my finger on it.

β±οΈWhy Event-Based systems Rock π€ [in 5 tweets].
Designing systems from domain events instead of columns in a database, endpoints on an API, or components in a view, has so many benefits.
#ddd#eventstorming
[Communcation] Thinking in terms of domain events is the closest we can get to expressing what happens in the real world. Features can be communicated by non-technical folk as a series of domain events.
