Less abstract! Surprising effects of expressing rules of OOP...
summary
Claims a concrete visual language that maps objects to little figures with arms and fingers and doors and proves useful: artistic soldiers method encodes classes and methods, swollen arms flag long methods or heavy conditionals, and dependency injection becomes passing dependencies through fingers instead of hidden holes. The talk rebuilds Sandi Metz’s refactoring example as evolving diagrams, shows dynamic anti‑patterns that replicated across codebases, and reports that drawing these gifs and diagrams helps find and guide real refactorings.
