Yes, exactly! So many straw man arguments that are just useless.
All the examples based on inheritance problems when that isn't how you'd solve the problem now.
You'd use composition. If the author of that article had read the first 15 pages of GoF Patterns book they would've known that.

Good grief: that article is an incoherent mess of conundrums and non-sequiturs, tied together with flights of ex-cathedra posturing. Historically inaccurate: ever heard of SmallTalk, and its ancestor, Simula (1967) ?
This howler takes the cake:Quote: Paradigms are a bit like religions. They’re good in moderation — arguably, Jesus, Mohamed and Buddha said some pretty cool stuff. But if you follow them to the last little detail, you might end up making the lives of yourself and of people around you quite miserable.
Who says that data structures tightly coupled to methods is a typical way of doing OO ?
fwiw: I am not a fanbois-partisan of OO, or FP; I like both, and do not see them as mutually exclusive.

Exactly! They are both individual tools.
The author is saying hammers are bad because they aren't screwdrives.
Well, I guess screwdrivers are also bad, because they aren't hammers.

If your company has yet to embrace AI, you’re in a race against the clock. And by my calculations, you have just three years left. I'll just pull an all-nighter the day before it's due
And by some strange coincidence, this opinion brought to you by someone who's "co-founder and Head of Growth at AI services firm"

That's not an article, that's an ad. I need to report that, sorry.

I heard the same some years ago. I laughed in his face.
How is "OWL" doing now, hehe?

I dunno, I read it again and it just seems like the bleating of someone who drank the koolaid and wants everyone else to join in. He does mention his company, but doesn’t push their services.

Imagine getting your paycheck, buying groceries, and paying your rent, all using fake money called PrimeCoin or something. In Bezos We Trust
Yeah, I know he's not in charge anymore, but no one remembers who the new guy is yet.
Jammy? Jazzy? Something like that? (no peaking)

This is company scrip and has a demonstrably bad history.

 In most (all?) Western countries, it is illegal to pay workers in anything other than legal tender. I don't see "PrimeCoin" being declared such.

I’ve worked with many software developers, some of them fresh out of college and others seasoned professionals. This article lists some of the traits these people seem to have in common. Habit 0: Avoid lists of "good" habits
At least that's the one I tend to follow (whether I'm highly effective is up to debate)

Surprise... at least is not totally bullsh1t.
I could even say that he has some points.
But...
Those points still are no warranty of being effective.

It's a decent list, though some of them are basically platitudes that could use more elabortation than can be expected in the typical blog post.
The one that I'd take some exception to is "Avoid premature optimization". In fairness, he mentions loop unrolling or caching as examples. Great. But at the other end of the spectrum is code that spawns a thread for every little thing, or repeatedly opens and closes a file while editing it, and so on. This kind of nonsense will have to be cleaned up later, so coupled with this rule should be one not to carelessly write inefficient code.

Our July 2021 release features mostly minor bug fixes. Does it also put a bow on it?
