The document discusses the Open/Closed Principle (OCP), which states that software entities should be open for extension but closed for modification. It provides an example of an OCP kata using a bowling scoring problem. Programmers are instructed to write tests, then refactor the code by changing the object composite returned by a factory to make each new test pass without modifying existing code. The document also provides credits to people involved in developing and promoting OCP and related katas.
