Read Original

The article explores the author's frustration with the common practice of using inheritance for configuration and extensibility in frameworks like Laravel. It contrasts extending abstract classes with implementing interfaces, references Alan Kay's vision of OOP, and argues for alternative design patterns to achieve flexibility without relying heavily on inheritance.
