But, design patterns are clearly overestimated as a tool for (indirect) code production, you are right in that.
Absolutely agreed. Design patterns are little more than: - A common language for engineers to talk to each other. - Good documentation. - A useful way to get engineering experience across to a mentoree. Yes, patterns are over-hyped. Nevertheless, there's a baby somewhere in all that bathwater. Cheers, Andrew Bromage
