Your agent passes every test you throw at it. The demo is clean, the eval suite is green, and you ship. Then a week later, the support tickets start: agents looping, costs spiking, responses that confidently cite facts that were never true. The model ...
This is not an attack on Domain-Driven Design. The core value of DDD still matters, perhaps even more in the age of AI. Understanding a complex business domain Defining bounded contexts Aligning language between engineers and domain experts Discovering invariants Making state transitions explicit Understanding where change will hurt These things do not become less important because code generation gets faster. In fact, they become more important. AI is powerful, but it does not remove the need f
The promise Most numbers you read about the economy ask for your trust. A price index, an exchange rate, a “fair value” — you take the institution’s word for it, because you can’t recompute it yourself. openunit is built the other way around. It’s a small, open reference implementation of a unit of account: a measuring stick for value. The entire design goal is that you don’t have to trust me. You clone the repo, run two commands, and get the exact same number I published — down to the last di
