Deep inheritance hierarchies create unmaintainable codebases through cognitive overload and "everything touches everything" architectures. The author examines real-world examples including a five-layer inheritance hierarchy for a payment page and an 866-line generic repository, demonstrating how preemptive framework design leads to rigid abstractions that resist change. The solution is to extract patterns after solving problems multiple times, prefer composition over inheritance, and remain skeptical of deep hierarchies beyond two or three layers.
