SOLID Revisited: The State of the Matter
summary
A short history and a pointed critique argue SOLID is often redundant, OO‑centred and poorly named, backed by a live poll of 85 attendees showing 36% knew the names and meanings and only 6% had never heard of SOLID, plus slide references and the Wayback Machine to trace origins. The talk distils overlap into cohesion, polymorphism and contracts, proposes alternative sets (fluid/liquid/plasma) and presents plasma principles — persistence, local reasoning, algorithms, simplicity, abstractions — as an exploratory reframing rather than a finished replacement.
