I've covered never having nulls [https://quinngil.com/2017/10/15/uobjects-no-nulls/] and that's what the NullObject [http://wiki.c2.com/?NullObject] pattern is here to help us with. The NullObject pattern is one that I tried to implement earlier in my career (mostly after reading…
A conflict that has come up a few times is using composition and a pass through or a base class I favor pass through; I write it that way Everytime. The other engineer on the project favors a base class. Here's an example of what we've…
My thoughts about Object Oriented Programming has evolved over the years. Especially in the past 6 months. My development of MicroObjects has caused a lot of thinking about Object Oriented Programming and how to develop better and more maintainable software. A lot of great discussions that have certainly helped drive…
One of the things I've noticed working with multiple devs doing microObjects is that the code generated tends towards a single style. A module can be built in as many ways, or more, by a set of developers. To perform changes on a type of module you'…
TL;DR: I loved the book. Go read it. [https://pragprog.com/book/rjnsd/the] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the past few years working with a team of XP devs who've been using the XP practices for well over a decade each has taught me a lot.

Working with µObjects at work and in the examples I've been experimenting with; I've found a recurring conflict of principles. In the early days of learning actual Object Oriented Programming with Fred George we were hammered with "What's it's job?"…
