Are those also considered anti-patterns, or simply "bad practices"? The examples in the article seem to have a wider scale than the ones mentioned in your collection.
My question is, where is the line the line between an anti-pattern or simply a "bad practice", or if they are the same?
- drivers99 10y agoanti-pattern would be: "commonly reinvented bad solution to a recurring problem" (paraphrasing wikipedia)
- webmaven 10y agoAnti-patterns can be copied as well as reinvented. Also, some can manifest simply through developers' inattention rather than being a deliberate reinvention, such as: * Big Ball of Mud * Creeping featuritis * Copy Pasta

- paulddraper 10y agoThere's patterns and then there's design patterns. The latter is more high-level, as you're thinking.
- ThePhysicist 10y agoProbably more bad practice by that definition, though for me the two concepts are very similar. I think the original article aimed more at process and large scale patterns, where our book aims more at small scale patterns.
