I'd like to feed a few youtube videos of rednecks blowing up toilets and laughing hysterically through their program to see if it can still understand humans.

Should be titled, "Why You Shouldn't Hire Me As A Systems Architect".
For example, I’ve implemented classes that manage database tables, so it implements an abstract class that needs an “update” method. Well, some tables when updating need to do more than just “update” a record, such as insert a log into a side table. While that might be innocent enough at first, I’ve seen quite a few methods continue to grow in their sets of responsibilities.
void DbTable::update(LogFile * logFile, ...) {
if (logFile) logFile->log(something);
...
}
If that, or something similar, doesn't come naturally to him, he doesn't understand OOP, and is writing over his head. He sounds like someone who has primarily learned procedural programming, like C++ was originally taught.

He also complained about methods whose responsibilities continue to grow. This is hardly a problem specific to classes. Rather, the problem is likely one of
- The specifications were poor.
- The design did not anticipate reasonable future requirements.
- The group is unwilling to refactor by adding an Observer capability or whatever would more cleanly address the issue.

Well, one look at his haircut and choice of spectacle frames, and you can tell he's got no class.

So we can summarize: "I do not use OOP because I've seen it done badly."
Good point, eh?
Let's wait a little and that guy will have seen Function Programming done badly, and then he won't use functions either...

This morning the USD/BTC Bitcoin pairing crashed in a significant way, showing that even the digital currency is not immune to COVID-19 panic*. That's OK, everything else has as well.

So, lots of Italians get coronavirus... Bitcoin crashes...
Nope, I can't see a connection.
The bottom's dropped out of the tofu market, too. Can't think why.

In March 1989 Sir Tim Berners-Lee wrote “Information Management: A Proposal” and with that quiet act launched an idea, the World Wide Web, that has changed our lives. To celebrate, I used history's most powerful communication tool to look at pictures of cats and wrote funny (I hope) blurbs
And gave Google et al loads o' data to sell.

In its move to the open-source, cross-platform .NET Core, Microsoft will support Visual Basic in the upcoming .NET 5 and is expanding the programming language's supported application types to help VB developers migrate their code Sorry, this news item might be a few decades old
I joke with love, even though it's been years since I've used or written about the lovely language

The EU has adopted a new Circular Economy Action Plan today, which includes a number of goals that the EU will, as a whole, strive towards. One such goal on that list is introducing the “right to repair” for EU citizens I'll be able to finally dig those old WinCE phones out of my drawer!

I'm looking right now at a perfectly good (very good, actually) phone that no longer works because it got a little too wet and the battery shorted out.
As it is, it's a piece of junk. If I could change the battery (for less than the price of a new phone), it would be perfectly OK.

Are you saying EU citizens do NOT have the right to repair their phone right now?

No, and neither do Americans. The law is to stop device manufacturers implementing policies and designs that make it impossible to repair devices. It is in the manufacturer's best interests that you buy new rather than repair so they take steps to make sure that happens. The EU is trying to make those steps illegal. So things like stopping the manufacturer of replacement parts after a few years, making devices where you can't replace the battery, stopping old devices from receiving software updates, degrading the performance of old phones automatically. It's to tackle those kinds of things.
Don't worry though...they'll still sell versions of the phones that can't be repaired in America

Vulnerability would have allowed attackers to take over computers running the Avast antivirus. What does an antivirus need with a JavaScript engine?
$('virus').on('detect', function() { play("ringtone.mp4"); delete(); });
Maybe run some animation?
