OOP as septic tank
a: OOP ~
b: designing a septic tank
What: "Designing OOP is like designing a septic tank. You know it's going to get filled with crap, but the goal is to keep the crap safely contained so it doesn't contaminate everything around it. If the OOP design is leaking someone's sewage then it's a failed design. "
