> I'd really like you to show me how you can refactor e.g. a method called "write"
I'm not taking sides on the issue discussed here, but regarding this quote... This is one of the biggest reasons I don't do OOP. Using plain functions with slightly longer but globally unique names so many issues go away.
And the biggest issue is that I can't read a code base if so many function names are not unique and possibly not conveying enough information for local understanding. That style always requires the reader to carry so much context in their head, to be able to resolve the "polymorphism" to concrete implementations. (Yes, in a proper IDE we can jump to the implementation interactively with a few keypresses, but it's still much harder to read).
