One hell of a devRant, and a very good read which explains why much of what many of us were taught about programming is wrong:

Woah that's a long read, but i'll definitely go over it after work. I'm an OOP guy myself, and would like to learn functional programming. Seems like a good place to start. Thanks for the share!

In all honesty I have yet to find the time to finish reading it myself!
It definitely seems to sum up many of the times I have felt OOP being an obstacle, or times I have seen too much time put into 'programming' tasks which are purely an artifact of OOP (Spring configurations, I'm looking at you.)
I've been trying to move gradually away from OOP personally, and this really cemented the reasons.

I found this article series pretty good as an intro too
