requirements from our problem domain – This is what it should be doing > Our applications’ demands on their persisted state extend beyond our domain model – Task-based UIs, Reporting, Exporting, etc. > Often the domain model becomes the single façade over our persistence layer – it is set to work servicing these additional demands as well > It then becomes MORE COMPLEX > It then becomes HARDER TO REASON ABOUT > And then you add an ORM December 17
