There are a lot of nice attributes to classic ASP.NET MVC, but the way it handles validation and errors sticks out like a sore thumb. Luckily, you can work around that.

It takes creative thinking to design a system backwards. I've often started somewhere smack in the middle of things, honing in on the core / complexity. But incrementally back-tracking to the very beginning of a flow, that's a first (this isn't about outcomes, mind you). Constraints like this cater

My modus operandi seems to be that whatever project I’m on, I live and breathe it. Deep entrenchment, hoping for new insights along the way, aka the reward.

A pattern I found useful in calculation heavy domains is to report intermediary results as part of the computed result, making it easier for end users to verify them, as it ultimately embodies a developer's understanding.

One of the harder problems in design is whether to remain specific or to become abstract. It's easy to see what it should have been in retrospect but near impossible to forecast. Making the wrong choice causes extra labor in a lot of places. Being specific usually means more typing, more code.

Integrating with 3rd party systems in your own system comes with its own challenges. Fundamentally, there's a choice on the table of how deeply one integrates, how much of the integration language we allow to rub off on our own. In my experience, the answer is very context specific and often boils

Knowledge crunching in a legacy context with a lot of manual tribal rituals is something else. My modus operandi is to attack the problem space from many different angles to form a mental picture and instill common understanding. Then, partitioning one flow at a time, iterating in each compartment,

Venturing into a new domain, a recurring model "candidate" is "simulation". The ability for end-users to try something before deciding on something, a small loop of multiple drafts before committing to an outcome, is perceived as valuable.

My beef with "modern" design and modeling techniques is that they've become the center of attention, not in the least by their proponents. If you can't concede that it is a means to an end and that what you are modeling is more important than your petty modeling technique, than I have no use for it.
