Doom Driven Development

When Fate Drives Code

Software development sometimes needs a spark—something bold, fresh, maybe even a completely crazy. Test-Driven Development? It's over a decade old and, let’s face it, can feel tedious. Behavior-Driven Development? Complex and also aging, with its roots in the same predictable soil.

Enter Doom Driven Development (DDD)—a software process powered not by specs or stories, but by fate, destiny, and... doom. It embraces the raw inspiration in every developer’s DNA. It’s about building, not planning. Let destiny handle the outcome.

Doom means fate. Especially the bad kind. The inevitable. The inescapable.

This is the first official Doom Driven Development Manifesto (yes, we know—it might be the only one like it today):

The Five Laws of DDD:

  • If a project is doomed, it's doomed.
    (No matter what you do, what your team does, or how hard you try—the outcome is sealed. It will fail.)

  • If a release is doomed, it's doomed.
    (Bug fixes, last-minute features, process improvements—none of it matters. The release is destined to collapse.)

  • If the architecture is doomed, it's doomed.
    (Even rockstar developers can’t save a doomed foundation. Bad architecture fails. Period.)

  • If the team is doomed, it's doomed.
    (Charismatic leads and daily standups can’t save a dysfunctional team. Doom wins.)

  • If the implementation is doomed, it's doomed.
    (All the unit tests in the world can’t fix the wrong solution.)

Why Choose Doom Driven Development?

  • DDD maximizes ROI.
    Identify doomed projects early, pivot fast, and invest in ones with a real shot.

  • DDD unleashes creativity.
    Skip the bureaucratic grind. Build first. Design later. Refactor never.

  • DDD prioritizes progress.
    Focus on building features instead of chasing regressions or patching legacy bugs.

Still skeptical?

Try Doom Driven Development. Experience a process that guarantees immutability, embraces chaos, and puts creativity over control. The results? Foretold. The journey? Pure engineering freedom.

Miraikan: The Future Is Here

Image
The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, simply known as the Miraikan, is a museum created by Japan's Science and Technology Agency. It was opened in 2001. It is situated in a purpose-built building in the Odaiba District of Tokyo. In the video, I am visiting Miraikan, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan. I explore various exhibits spread across multiple floors of the museum, focusing on emerging technologies and scientific innovations. The first floor introduces the museum, showing a ticket purchase and an overview of the building. I take an escalator to the next floor where I check descriptions of the different floors and their themes. I am excited about the exhibits and mention a gift shop. The second floor is described as a special floor not accessible to the public, while the third floor features a kids' zone and information stands. I explore the "Create Your Future" exhibit, which focuses on envisioning a prosper...

Zigbee vs. Z-Wave: Which Mesh Protocol Wins in Smart IoT?

Image
When it comes to building a reliable smart home or IoT network, Zigbee and Z-Wave are two names you can't avoid. Both offer mesh networking. Both prioritize low power consumption. Both promise simple device-to-device communication. But which one is better for your needs? Let's break it down clearly. 1. Frequency Band Zigbee: Operates mainly at 2.4 GHz (globally) but can use sub-GHz in some regions. Z-Wave: Works at sub-GHz frequencies (around 800-900 MHz depending on the region). Impact: Z-Wave’s lower frequency means less interference (since Wi-Fi and Bluetooth crowd 2.4 GHz). Zigbee's 2.4 GHz can face more noise but offers higher data rates. 2. Device Ecosystem Zigbee: Huge ecosystem. Brands like Philips Hue, Amazon Echo, and Samsung SmartThings rely on it. Z-Wave: Smaller, but highly curated ecosystem with strict interoperability standards. Impact: Zigbee offers more choices, but sometimes devices from different vendors don't play perfectly together. Z-Wave has...
