This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That would be object oriented programming. They took the subject occidented antigramming approach to development.

subject occidented antigramming

I knew there was a cool technical term for what I've been doing all these years.

I've never heard of that phrase, but I like abject oriented programming. In this case, they're using the concept of inheritance, but with assets:

Inheritance is a way to retain features of old code in newer code. The programmer derives from an existing function or block of code by making a copy of the code, then making changes to the copy. The derived code is often specialized by adding features not implemented in the original. In this way the old code is retained but the new code inherits from it.
