I think the issue the OC was hinting at is that the borders of the domain are forced to be the files. Having a folder for "food" and a folder for "animal" should not imply that they are in different packages by the OC's reasoning.
Perhaps both of them should be the same package, but to achieve this, you can't organise it into folders.
_This_ is what OC was complaining about. Considering where the borders of the domain should be is a second handed issue that is only due to the bad choice of having packages be determined by folder structure, which is the complaint of OC.
Right. And people conflate the issue. Especially go developers. They can’t see the difference.
They naturally create folders based off of semantic meaning instead of packaging. Then they hit the dependency issue and they think creating the folder was a domain modeling problem when really they just created the folder based off of semantic meaning and not dependencies.
The whole thing has confused go developers. They think putting things into the right folders actually has some deeper design meaning when really it’s just to make it easier for humans to find shit.
