“the whole article is satire”

Some of it definatly seems so, though “Curly brackets must always go in the next line” is definatley true!

And all large apps (like wordpress) should use OOP, it’s extemely annoying when they dont (adding mods takes days not hours).

OOP can be taken to an extreme, but so can ‘linear’ code,

toy->transport->car is good!
toy->transport->car->wheel->bolt is over the top.

$car = func. toy(’car’, ‘red’, ‘..’, ‘…’, ‘…’, ‘…’, ‘…’);

then pages and pages of func.s on the car is pointless!

You apparently lack a satire detector.
My guess is that you’re addicted to slashdot.

Dude, the whole article is satire.

Or Philipp is a moron.

Take your pick.

Some of it clearly is, and some of it is deceptively not

You’ve been duped. The article was intended as satire (or at least I hope it was!).
