I disagree. What you're saying is true for Java-like OOP languages because OOP is actually complete garbage if you want to design good, easy to understand abstractions. Types are way more elegant in functional or functional-inspired languages.
Agreed, unit tests are useless in most cases, they mostly test the bullshit abstractions you built for the unit tests themselves.
I think you’re right re:oop - let’s throw that in there too.
One problem is naming things - bad names/naming conventions can start things off in a bad direction, so you spend forever figuring one out… but do you really need this thing you’re naming after all?
Maybe the hot-take is more like: All code is bad, so less code is better…. what should we drop first?
