DDD is quite nice as a philosophy. Like concatenate state based on behavioral similarity and keep mutation and query function close, model data structures from domain concepts and not the inverse, pay attention to domain boundary (an entity may be read only in some domain and have fewer state transition than in another).

But it should be a philosophy, not a directive. There are always tradeoffs to be made, and DDD may be the one to be sacrificed in order to get things done.
