When OOP Meets IRL

Junior devs just slapping public int x; everywhere and living their best life. Then someone introduces them to encapsulation and suddenly they're writing getters and setters like they just discovered fire. The fancy suit represents that false sense of sophistication you get from following OOP principles—until you realize you've written 20 lines of boilerplate just to access a single integer. You're now "professionally" doing what you used to do in one line, and deep down you're questioning every life choice that led you here. Sometimes the simple solution was fine. But now you're in too deep to go back. Welcome to enterprise development, where we make everything unnecessarily complicated and call it "best practices."
