    Every famous person is famous for something. Let me, Lloyd Dupont, coin here, in this public place, a new previously un-named albeit widely used pattern, the "Rube Goldberg" pattern, named after the machine[^]. (OK, I didn't create the name, but I AM the one who promoted to pattern status!! ;P) The code I'm refactoring used the Rube Goldberg pattern quite a lot! ^^

    Must be a historic a pattern, as it qualifies as a pattern as well as an anti-pattern[^]! :suss:

      Yes! But long before it displays "Hello World" the CD tray ejects, pushing the start button on the coffee maker... :laugh:

          Sadly it's just an extension of the Heath Robinson Method[^] that we all know and love.

                You mean anti-pattern, right? IMO just a variation of observer done wrong.

                  I agree. I've been thinking of starting a project that is only for trying out new things and when one method finishes running it starts the next and so on until it finally in some grand Rube Goldberg style announces "Hello World!"

                  Sounds a lot like callback-based programming to me ... (I actually like callbacks, and tend to overuse them.)

                    Observer? It's more like spaghetti!
