Resisting complexity
summary
Argues methods are affordances not abilities and shows concrete refactors: move broadcast into Announcement so the Announcement.broadcast method moved, replace PurchaseFulfillmentService by moving fulfill into Purchase and using an event listener, introduce a real Checkout object to encapsulate payment and creation, prefer either facades/service-location or threading the queue dispatcher and mailer for dependencies, and replace a license generator class with a container-resolved generate_license_code invokable so tests can stub it; result is fewer agent-noun classes and simpler, more encapsulated Laravel Eloquent code with working queues, mail, and events.
