> How many people have internalized every part of SOLID such that they can immediately start critiquing one of the items?

There was a post here the other day (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39460829) where someone was giving advice about interviewing at Amazon and knowing their "sixteen principles" because "they're not just words, here more than anywhere we live and breathe them". He even went on to talk about how they specifically used them all in interviewers, and "bar raiser" interviewers were chosen for their "deep and profound" understanding of them all (there was more than a slight narcissism and smug superiority in the article, if you ask me).

My thoughts were: "Quick, you work at Amazon. Name all sixteen principles that you live and breathe every day. That people are expected to have a deep and profound understanding of."

(My other favorite quote in that article: "I have certainly referenced Amazon's Principles when discussing parenting techniques".
