I’m not really a fan of reading. Often, when I do read, I find myself losing track of the text’s topic for the past few minutes. I often go through an entire chapter without grasping what it was all about in the end.

It can be frustrating when I’m trying to focus on the content, but I keep realizing I need to backtrack. That’s when I turn to various types of media to learn about a topic.

The first time I encountered this reading issue was with the SOLID principle, specifically the Liskov Substitution Principle. Its definition was (and still is) too complicated for my taste, especially in its formal format.

As you can guess, LSP represents the letter “L” in the word SOLID. It’s not difficult to understand, although a less mathematical definition would be appreciated.
