  • Same, I always remember this with interfaces and inheritance, shoehorned in BS where I’m only using 1 class anyway and talking to 1 other class what’s the point of this?

    After I graduated as a personal project i made a wiki for a game and I was reusing a lot of code, “huh a parent class would be nice here”.

    In my first Job, I don’t know who’s going to use this thing I’m building but these are the rules: proceeds to implement an interface.

    When I have to teach these concepts to juniors now, this is how I teach them: inheritance to avoid code duplication, interfaces to tell other people what they need to implement in order to use your stuff.

    I wonder why I wasn’t taught it that way. I remember looking at my projects that used this stuff thinking it was just messy rubbish. More importantly, I graduated not understanding this stuff…
