OOP-bashing seems fashionable nowadays. I decided to write this article after seeing two OOP-related articles on Lobsters in quick succession. I’m not interested in defending or attacking OOP, but I do want to throw in my two cents and offer a more nuanced view.

on windows i'm running a triple monitor setup - center for the IDE, left for logs, debugging and documentation and right for communication (email, chat).

sometimes, when i play games i wish to turn off the peripheral monitors for better immersion; also my graphics card is probably happy having to render a few million pixels less.

usually, i just used the physical buttons to turn the monitors off, but after a defect i've had to get a new one that places its on/off switch at the back, which i can't easily reach.

nirsoft to the rescue: enable/disable or power on/off monitors over software with MultiMonitorTool

The phrase “favor composition over inheritance” has become one of those thought-terminating cliches in software design, and I always like to take a deeper look at those to understand where they come from and what ideas we’re missing if we just take the phrase at face value without engaging with the discussion that led to it.

- When did people favor composition over inheritance?
