I really enjoyed reading this article but I can't help feeling that someone has beaten you with a broomstick far too many times... Then blamed it on OOP.
If you see code that looks like that, it doesn't matter what paradigm you claim to be following, you are doing it wrong!

Thank you, and yes, you’re probably right. The problem is COMPLEXITY. But I’d still argue that the solution is NOT OOP πŸ˜‰

I'm joining this thread because the rest got flattened and is difficult to read.

If "more code" was better, nobody would purchase off the shelf products, such as iOS, ClickUp, use GitHub for that matter

I think that's a non-sequitur which doesn't do anything for your argument.

the above is 7 lines of code.

I'd say more like 4. You can see it's more verbose, you don't need to start counting braces to add to the argument!
