Read original comment ↗Check out this video [VIDEO] from Brian Will, where he dissects 4 different code examples. I think one of the examples is also some Java code from Robert "Uncle Bob" Martin.
Read original comment ↗There was an article on state in OOP posted here a few days ago that I found very thought-provoking[1]. The blog post and related youtube videos are pretty interesting as well[2][3][4]. [1] [LINK] [2] [LINK] [3] [LINK] [4] [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Somewhat relatedly (covers some very similar concerns and IIRC even references "Clean Code"), Brian Wills has a few good videos [LINK] [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Previous videos Object-Oriented Programming is Bad [LINK] Object-Oriented Programming is Embarrassing: 4 Short Examples [VIDEO] I'm watching the 'is Bad' one, and honestly, it rings too close to my experience. Need to think about this a bit more deeply!
