255 - Data Oriented Programming
In this episode, we dive into the programming paradigm — Data Oriented Programming (DOP) and why making data the star can simplify your code. Learn how well-modeled data reduces defensive logic, prevents invalid states, and keeps your apps stable. We’ll also contrast DOP with Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and Functional Programming (FP), sharing practical examples, tips, and resource links to deepen your understanding. The [full shownotes with illustrations are on fragmentedpodcast.com](https://fragmentedpodcast.com/episodes/255/).
