Those OO & OOP principles are the pragmatic and sensible approach learned after cleaning up after "hipster" web "artisans". If we're going to throw around claims without knowing anything about the other person; you sound like the kind of dev who writes some code that works on the happy path, but is completely unmaintainable and non-extensible.
