#3. What is a God class?

A class that fixes it's own fan-in

A class that is so small that it is almost unmeasurable.

A (very) large class with a lot of incoming dependencies (fan-in).

I’m afraid this is not the right answer.

This practice will hamper your productivity, introduce more issues in production and may even lead to low developer morale (who wants to work on legacy systems?).
