If you're a developer and think OOP is bad. I think you've been radicalized. I don't use OOP much anymore but there's nothing inherently bad with it. You can shoot yourself in the foot and design things poorly using it but you can do the same without OOP. Stop following code influencer advice and just build.

But here's the thing - these issues typically stem from misuse rather than fundamental flaws in OOP. It's like blaming the hammer when you should be questioning how it's being used. Smart application of OOP principles still offers great value when used appropriately.

Want to know more? Ask me: What alternative programming paradigms do you think address these OOP challenges most effectively? How have these OOP criticisms influenced modern software architecture and design patterns?
