I read once that the biggest issue with OOP is that everyone gets taught the “Dog inherits Animal” style which is completely worthless.

One of the biggest issues with OOP is that it’s hard ;) I gave up attempting to get good at it after trying to read Bertrand Meyers’ Object-Oriented Software Construction book. If I need to be able to keep 1300 pages worth of info in my head to write well designed software, maybe it’s the wrong approach.

If I had my druthers, I'd put the teaching-ratio of interfaces versus inheritance at like 95%/5%. Treat concrete inheritance primarily as a useful work-saving shortcut.

Basically, I'm one of those people who might unironically write `class DefaultDog implements Dog extends AbstractAnimal`.
