> - No one should care about actual code ever again. It’s ephemeral. The role of software engineering is now molding features and requirements into functional results. Choosing Rust, C#, Java, or Typescript might matter depending on the domain, but then you stop caring and focus on measuring success.
I think this has always been the case. "Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships." Perhaps you mean that they shouldn't worry about structures & relationships either but I think that is a fools errand. Although to be fair neither of those need to be codified in the code itself, but ignore those at your own peril...
Data structures are still conversational items. I come from the DDD community and adamantly push back on data first architectures. Modules or Bounded Contexts reveal their relationships and data over time.
Perhaps you can think of the modules or "Bounded Contexts" as a type of data structure and the relationships between them. Idk. I don't have a particularly great view of DDD fwiw.
