Daniel Terhorst-North - SOLID vs. CUPID

The SOLID principles are well-established as the foundation of object-oriented systems. However, after more than 20 years it is time to see whether the principles still apply and whether other concepts might be a better alternative. Daniel Terhorst-North is well known for concepts like behavior-driven development or deliberate discovery. He came up with the CUPID principles. In this episode, we will discuss SOLID and CUPID - and why Daniel thinks CUPID makes more sense.
