I agree with Walter here, I have had good success with
interfaces and abstract classes (where speed dictated direct
field access) for largish projects, by separating

This talk[1] made me rethink how to do OO with classes and
interfaces, but as he says at the end is the key take away.
I apply the approach more on the high level architecture of the
program [2] & [3, 4, 5].

Either way the talk is really good, I recommend whole heartily
you take the time to watch it.

Cheers, Jakob.
