I have always been bothered by the way most programmers programmed.  I did not know why I felt that way, but I did.  I finally received an explanation.

According to Ilya Suzdalnitski per his article Object-Oriented Programming is The Biggest Mistake of Computer Science; object oriented programming (OOP) was a very big and a terribly expensive mistake.

Why? Because it can be very hard to maintain and can be very unreliable.  Read the article whether you are a programmer or not.  Give that the importance of computer algorithms will increase significantly over the next 50 years, this is a big deal.
