Humor: "Resign Patterns"

Posted by: Ted Neward on July 20, 2004 DIGG
For those who never really got the Big Deal behind the "Design Patterns" movement, allow us to present perhaps the new collection that will clearly make you want to embrace patterns in all their glory: "Resign Patterns, Ailments of Unsuitable Project-Disoriented Software", by Michael Duell.

Resign patterns documented include:
  1. Abject Poverty: The Abject Poverty Pattern is evident in software that is so difficult to test and maintain that doing so results in massive budget overruns.
  2. Simpleton: The Simpleton Pattern is an extremely complex pattern used for the most trivial of tasks. The Simpleton is an accurate indicator of the skill level of its creator.
  3. Detonator: The Detonator is extremely common, but often undetected. A common example is the calculations based on a 2 digit year field. This bomb is out there, and waiting to explode!
For more, see Resign Patterns.
