You realize that regexes, fft and canvas APIs can be seen as the same kind of thing - as simply tools - as unit tests, Ruby and SOLID (whatever that is)?
Some tools are usable in more contexts, but you can still lead a perfectly healthy life if you are in a domain where the ones you don't know are not needed.

- raverbashing 12y ago> SOLID is a set of (possibly questionable) religious principles often espoused by OOP programmers Exactly my opinion There's a good side to it, but it's mostly used for people to (in a cargo-cult way) abuse OO and replace simple computations with something spread over 5 levels of inheritance and lots of different types.
