Interfaces are great.

Inheritance is often a sign that the previous developer didn't understand interfaces.

Broad generic claims like that tell me more

Yep. I'm old, cranky, and prone to broad statements to get reactions.

That said, for any of you all that love inheritance, I'm judging you so hard. So hard. Very judged. I probably hate your code, and your friends' code, and your last teacher's code. Especially your last teacher's code.

Prefer composition over inheritance. Though that doesn't mean inheritance has no place in programming.
