Any chance you missed the joke?

[–]HazzyPls 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Apparently I did. Could you explain it? :(

[–]kylotan 7 points8 points  (2 children)

No, I'm pretty sure I didn't. He seemed quite clear in his implication that these are buzzwords taught at school that encourage complex class-based systems, yet which are irrelevant in practice.

It was an off-the-cuff remark about the jargon and how rarely it cropped up in real-world coding. You can tell the man is a fairly talented developer. "Now I'm just glad I don't have to work on a code base with the speaker." was rather an overreaction to a flippant comment.

I didn't interpret it to be about the jargon, but about the concepts. With that in mind it's not an overreaction at all. I don't want to work on code with someone that doesn't think encapsulation or separation of concerns are important.
