So much time in my undergrad designing stupid inheritance hierarchies for systems (petrol stations, web servers, guidance systems), none of it even remotely applicable in my actual career as a dev. In fact, practically every time someone had done something “clever” with inheritance it caused subtle bugs or made maintenance and extension much harder than it should have been.

    This was a great talk with a lot of nuance and history. Loved it.
