Fantastic video! Loved the design, graphics, editing and relatable gaming analogies throughout. Honestly, top work!

Love the style for sure! The ad threw me for a loop though. I thought I had click out of the video by accident.

Scott is incredible. And his cinematography is at such a high standard. His drawer organiser video made me impulse-purchase a 3d printer.

I really enjoyed this one, especially the animation. Great work.

Refreshing to hear real world advice, rather than the usual "always do this" nonsense. Just because a toolset has a tool, doesn't mean should or shouldn't use it. Tools are not good or bad by themselves, but using a hammer for a screw is a bad idea. Great content

Thanks Dave, Glad you enjoyed the video! Nothing is black and white - just lots of different shades of grey in different contexts. It's our jobs as engineers to understand the tradeoffs and make the best decision with the information we have. Also, I just recently used the hammer/nail metaphor in an article! 🤣 acairns.co.uk/posts/primitive-obsession

haven't watched the video yet, just wanted to say I (a 20yr veteran programmer) just learned about the concept a few weeks ago, though I've been an unknown advocate and practitioner of composition since being introduced to requisite oop in Java in high-school. I've carried the notion through all my projects since. always thought inheritance was a bad idea outside of strict polymorphic virtual functors where you can leverage the compiler to produce code states nessesary vs boilerplate every time a new instance is found. templating in c++ does exactly this for functional and procedural bros ok, watched the video. that last sentence "use inheritance when it exists in that domain" is basically saying the same thing. nothing in the real world actually does this. the nature of reality is to have many close but independently unique variants with- at best- partial heredity on average due to the imperfect copy problem. practically nothing is perfectly all of one other thing plus new stuff.

Sometimes we might not want to merge all logic into a single class and toggle based on the state
