The whole one about the stateful blob of an object with all optional attributes got me real good. Been fighting that for years. But the dev that writes this produces code faster than me and understands parts of the system no one else does and doesn't speak great English, so it continues. And the company is still afloat. So who's right in the end? And does it matter?


I don't know who's right but I know that it's the ergonomics of programming languages that make producing stateful blobs fast and easy that are in the wrong.


You know it's a problem when you have to read a book having couple hundred pages to learn how to hold it right ;)
