I have to disagree with this. I've not found anything of the sort you describe here.
If you have some esoteric pattern in your code, then it's never worth the tradeoff between readability unless it is better performance wise.
Calling them the "lowest" common denominator patterns instead of best practices is being dishonest.
- sitkack 10y ago> some esoteric pattern I have been at many sites where "esoteric" means things like first class functions (Python) or recursion. Not some hipster monad, y-combinator or method missing bullshit.
- pdpi 10y agoThere's a middle ground between cookie cutter and esoteric. While the OP's tone is perhaps a bit harsh, I've been in his shoes before, where a team that doesn't understand why a problem doesn't fit their go-to solution forces you to write a convoluted mess to shoehorn the problem into the solution. performance isn't even the problem, usually. Maintainability is.
