Re: "what are your thoughts on design patterns?"
nah we don't agree
tldr on this off topic:
I say warranty good - you say warranty bad;
you say corporate want warranty, I say corporate hate warranty
reminder how this connects to OP:
no warranty - no quality;
no quality - anything goes;
anything goes - most things are shit;
most things are shit - your hand rolled cruft doesn't look that bad anymore;
your had rolled cruft doesn't look that bad anymore - you can keep hand rolling same cruft over and over again and feel important;
you can keep hand rolling same cruft over and over again feel important - design patterns

My penultimate OT remark here:
@namark, I tried to keep it civil. We do not have to agree on everything, and I tried pretty hard to communicate something that is important to me personally without actual personal insults.
If you want to think of my life's work as 'hand-rolled cruft' that is there 'to make me feel important', that is your choice. Verbalizing it as you have: another choice and speaks to your character.
I am bully-proof; I feel sorry that you are so insecure that you need to resort to ad hominem insults.
lol dude, next you gonna tell me you weren't even ironic calling youself maestro? Massive ego go brrrrrr
Imma clarify that I was talking about everyone and their granmas who ever wrote any code, not you in partciular, in case admin decides to pull out the banhammer over your tear jerking last words.
Brah, just to clarify: I am dead serious. A lifetime of coding compilers and other deep tech. If there is such a thing as a Master Programmer, I am it (for some kinds of code). Not ashamed to tell the truth.
And to reiterate: hostile tone and personal insults are not necessary or appreciated. Look up the definition of ad hominem

Soooo...
how about that weather? snow gone yet in NYC?
anyways, what I got out of all this, on topic, is that in general, it's good to know what patterns are but you don't crowbar them into your code without good reason. I appreciate the (mostly) good content and explanations here. thanks to all.
