The thing is, how many times did "the time come"?

15 years ago, I was told I need to learn all about design patterns, and for 10 years after that, I heard about a new OOP-design philosophy almost every month.

Then it turns out wrapping everything into design patterns makes the code harder to read and we are right back to procedural programming.

7 years ago, friends told me I need to learn pure functional programming NOW, because it's the future of programming.

Well, long story short, I still don't know what a Monad is, and the code is still procedural.
