I was obsessively refreshing XKCD and the new comic popped up. Then I did the same on ExplainXKCD to make an explanation. Here's my first rough-draft attempt. [[User:Papayaman1000|Papayaman1000]] ([[User talk:Papayaman1000|talk]]) 13:34, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Your explanation confuses OOP with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_programming structured programming].

Developing a kernel is not the same as compiling a kernel. You would, for example, rebuild a Linux kernel after you've added a module, or changed some parameters. Also, the purpose of object-oriented programming is not to solve the problem of spaghetti code. (That problem was solved by structured programming.) It's to enforce principles of abstraction, information hiding and modularity.

There is a later comic that deals with how much time can be spent developing a system to deal with recurring time-taking chores (if that sentence made sense). I may find the number and enter it in, but I may spend time doing this generally first. --[[User:Quicksilver|Quicksilver]] ([[User talk:Quicksilver|talk]]) 18:09, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Title text could be augmented with "Hindsight is 20/20." [[User:Krishnanp|Krishnanp]] ([[User talk:Krishnanp|talk]]) 18:46, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
