Finally, the time has come!!!!

That developer will quickly learn the importance of composition over inheritance.

A friend of mine works extensively on hospital software & databases -- things like "hairline fracture on left hand 6th finger (postaxial polydactyly)" have lead to many late night discussions between us about the shortcomings of code & databases, and how we try to classify and categorize the real world into artificial hierarchies.

I mean, humans for example have a pretty strong opinion on where their physical form "stops" and "the outside" begins. But we don't consider ourselves a different person after a heart transplantation. When we eat a sandwich and absorb its molecules, we don't consider the human body to consist of 2% sandwich. Over the course of years, we replace the majority of the molecules in our body -- even the connections in our brain aren't static. Yet we describe ourselves as one, continuously existing, pretty much unchanged being, regardless of how much we change.

But that does mean that any code & database data modeling is more geared towards requirements than reality.

You would only keep state change on nail length if applicable to your application -- and even so, probably only as a number.

Chromosomal Intersex classifications are a DBA's nightmare (or wet dream, depending on exactly how much you love data modeling)

Edge cases break OOP badly.

MesodiniumChamaeleon extends AutotrophousPlantAnimals

@bittersweet 2% of your body weight is a pretty damn big sandwich.

@kamen Stop judging me, we all dream of giant sandwiches.

@bittersweet I'm not judging you, I'm just trying to picture eating a 1.5 kg sandwich in one go.

@bittersweet the 'sandwiches' in How I Met Your Mother come to mind. Those really looked like 2% body mass sandwiches.

@eeee Imagine what "sandwiches" these were equivalent to.

Ayo bruh trump and kanye both totes has same big dick energy also x æ a-12 musk wuuuut

Oh wait, that’s not twitter. Totally forgot about that.
