Interesting post, and I think he is on to something. But I really wish we got an alternative with the crap-fest. Otherwise you are just left with a 'ugh now what'. Personally, I still like the guidelines in "Growing Object Oriented Systems". The focus on the caller of your code helps you reduce complexity in your API. It helps you build components from the viewpoint of the caller (aka user). The biggest thing missing in software engineering right now is empathy for the user. Let's fix it.
