Casey Muratori, about Object Oriented Programming

Kind of following the thoughts on the exploration phase post.

Casey Muratori says:

Don’t ever bother learning or using object-oriented programming. It’s a deeply flawed programming methodology, and I wasted a good five years of my programming life thinking that it was useful, and I’ll never get that back. If I had been able to tell 18-year-old me to stick with compression-oriented programming, I probably would be a much better programmer today and I would have made decent code in my 18 to 23-years old period instead of the garbage OOP code that I ended up making.

Interesting opinion. Even if you disagree, it’s worth thinking about it.
