I totally agree on this. I found that often things that appeared to need inheritance at first glance often didn't if I gave deeper thought to it.

Granted I was working on much smaller projects rather than crazy huge multi team enterprise apps, but I'd guess that even then this is a good "rule of thumb".

Cool, good to know someone else has the same experience.

Ive been on a couple of multi-year projects and they are NOT fun with OOP + developer went crazy with patterns they were experimenting at the time. Its what made the "rule" pop up to begin with.
