Quote from: the FAQ from Google's new programming language Go:
Do not communicate by sharing memory. Instead, share memory by communicating.This is a very succinct and eloquent way of saying something that I have been stressing for years when talking to web developers. OO principles teach this by way of saying that your apps should be loosely coupled, but there are too many people that do not get what this means. I usually try to describe it as "Only let this object or method work with what it is given". Never act on data that you are not explicitly given. You cannot be sure it will always be there, and you cannot be guaranteed that it will be in the proper form for you to work with.
