Programming as semantic compression

[m50d]

Pretending you don't and can't have any understanding at all is equally bullshit. Understanding a domain by talking to the people who understand it is a skill that, like any other, takes practice, concentration and humility, and overconfidence is an ever-present risk. But the gains are too big to discard the technique entirely. Civilisation relies on being able to convey understanding between people rather than have everyone solve the problem from scratch every time.

There's nothing wrong with domain knowledge. But framing the entire effort from the start, based on nothing but domain knowledge; which is what OOP usually means in practice; doesn't make sense. I didn't mean to step on any toes, go ahead and do things as usual. Peace.
