In my weird software called The Console I decided to introduce tabs - a mechanism similiar to tabs that exist in web browsers. Here’s a (not really) brief story about it and why Dijkstra was right.

Context: game project.

class Card {
  var id:String;

  // ... some more fields and ctor setting the `id` field
}

class EmptyCard extends Card {
  public EmptyCard() {
    id = "";
    // and so on
  }
}

True story. Let’s refactor that.
