Object orientation is a lie. Reusable, flexible components have failed. The SOLID Principles of Object-Oriented Design still cling to these lies, sending developers down so many wrong paths. In less than 70 pages, this book presents five broadsides against each principle, tracing their history, demonstrating their flaws, and taking their advice to an hilarious degree all to prove a point: you can build good software by focusing on the problem at hand, and discussing the code you're writing, not some nebulous set of principles.
