- ngcazz 7y agoHer book with Katrina Owen “99 Bottles of OOP” lays out an even better case for this I think. Particularly useful is the introduced language to help measure the state of a codebase (“shamelessly green” vs “incomprehensibly concise” etc). Also quite like Fowler’s observation in Refactoring that (to paraphrase) abstractions are earned, not enforced.
