Some of that is the fact industry never really evolved OOP approaches and they tended to trend to toward heavy and complex. Peers aren’t great with the power OOP can have.

I’ve also seen composition go sideways too.

Sometimes it feels like nobody takes software engineering seriously anymore, if I’m being honest

Yeah, I remember that "Write a story. The nouns are objects, and the verbs are methods." school of thought.

I never warmed to that. In my experience, it resulted in unholy messes.
