    @eriktheplaid @EricEdgeworth Yeah I would never pretend that complexity is the enemy. Learning to differentiate complexity inherent to the problem you are solving and unnecessary complexity added by developers is the skill to develop.

      @eriktheplaid @EricEdgeworth I've had lots of conversations with students who build elaborate OOP inheritance hierarchies to solve simple problems and when asked about their rationale I hear a version of "classes are better"... It's a variant of "abstract early because you might need it later"
