- naikrovek 9y agoWhen this article came out a few years ago, I reacted as you did. Whatever number of years of experience I've gained since then has taught me, with extreme clarity, that the author is correct about object oriented programming.

I don't see this kind of sneering prose nearly as often in other programming domains. It pays to be nice, FFS! I wholeheartedly agree with the contents of the article, but I have to hold my nose while reading it.
