The World has gone mad...
-
State Pattern, Strategy pattern,Visitor pattern, BizConnector, NTier, Adapter and fly weight The world has gone buzzword mad, with all this stuff floating around, isnt there any substitute for good old fashioned analysis and design?? I am over 30 so this might be a case of me being an old Fart.. but all the systems I have designed and written function quite well using the "Old" methods without any of this pattern junk.. Or are all of these buzzwords around so programmers have some buzzwords to baffle the managers with on their CV's?? Its all a waste of time imo, if you can design and code competantly, whats the point in all this pattern rubbish? Prehaps its time for me to retire from coding and move up to the levels of senior management... *stomps off and growls in the corner*
I think some software big-wigs just want it to sound like they are doing something new and exciting. At least appear that way to their bosses. It usually seems to be a very minor change to the way things have been done in the past.

fortunately I have had plenty of experience in cutting out the b*ll when interviewing for developers and contractors to know when these terms are used to hide b*ll

I'd bet quids that you use patterns every day. It was only when I connected today's vocabulary to my own actuality that I realised it's all been said & done before by the likes of Knuth, Djikstra and Hoare and others of that era. I seem to recall something called design templates back in the late 60's. My dad was a pattern maker at Rolls Royce during WW2. so I can blame him.
