I remember when XML was the new fad around the turn of the century.
It’s given me immense satisfaction to see XML gradually but steadily being replaced with JSON. Talk about an IT industry misstep.
Edit: I should qualify that I hate XML as a general data format. It’s barely readable by human or machine (try writing an XML parser). There are some use cases where it is useful.
What do you think of SGML, HTMLs daddy?

It was on the nose for a while but I like it. The problem is the way some programmers torture the rest of us with their shitty abstractions. Deep inheritance hierarchies can be hard to work with but “favor composition over inheritance” and usually you’re fine.
I like functional programming too though so I make a crappy evangelist for any side of the usual flame wars.

Actually my post failed because fucking embedding doesn’t work on this shit forum. I think the popularity in learning OOP has more to do with her thumbnails.

Looks like I’m going to be learning some OOP!

I wondered about that because I watched a couple of seconds of the specific vid you linked and it looked like plain woman in modest clothing. Those thumbnails are lol though.

I was also skeptical that a 10 minute vid could teach you to earn 20k/month as a developer until I saw it laid out like that:
