Reflections on 2023: A Backend Engineer's Journey Through DDD, Business Architecture, and Judgment Models

The author reviews his 2023 technical articles, inspired by the TV series "Reply 1988", and organizes them into thematic chapters.

In the first chapter, he shares his experience learning Domain-Driven Design (DDD), using the Forrest Gump running metaphor to illustrate the importance of independent thinking over mere imitation.

The second chapter focuses on note‑taking and business architecture decomposition, emphasizing curiosity, practical application, and sensitivity to uncover valuable insights beyond pure technical work.

Later chapters discuss judgment models drawn from daily driving experiences, and showcase personal projects such as the VSEF framework and the "曲径通幽" series, which aim to distill and connect accumulated knowledge.

He concludes by expressing that the persistence to write and share stems from a desire to engage readers, and that this reflective practice will continue to drive his growth.
