MIT's Daniel Jackson (Alloy, Software Abstractions) argues the core OO principle of partitioning functionality among objects that mirror problem-domain individuals is neither natural nor straightforward, and that later software-engineering developments inherited the same fragmentation they tried to fix. Worth reading if you're rethinking architecture in an era where agents generate most of the code anyway.
