>Design patterns are spoonfeed material for brainless programmers incapable of independent thought, who will be resolved to producing code as mediocre as the design patterns they use to create it. As if spreading poisonous mind rot wasn’t enough, the other outrageous thing about the book is that it took stuff that had been known forever in computer science circles and renamed things we already knew by some other name (or indeed no name at all, because it’s blatantly obvious). For example, before dumb and dumber decided to call it the “visitor pattern” every programmer worth his salt would just call it a “map” operation (as in the LISP functions “map”, “mapcar”, “maplist”, etc).
