THIS. I almost always start with a list of instructions anyway, even if I'm intending to end up with classes or functions. A procedure is always easier to understand than a set of abstractions decided too early.https://twitter.com/TheAlanSmith/status/1083783166043803648 …

@peterc I’ve had a few coding interviews where I’ve done a “get it done” solution but been told it’s not OO... -
Maybe such a treatise is better aimed at the management level!

Amen and hallelujah! I feel like dev communities fall in love with criticizing code then start fearing criticism of their own code. "Ship it" is the only attitude that breaks the cycle.
