But some of the very things you need to live will kill you if you consume too much of them.
The problem is people often use the Design Patterns book as a design manual but that's not what it really is - it's an attempt to catagorize ideas. The very fact that you used the term Singleton means that now you and I can argue the merits of using that pattern in different situations. Would you rather us attempt to do that without common terminology?
- sah 19y agoThere's nothing wrong with having common terminology. But when people are being taught about bad ideas without any cautionary comments, that's a problem. By the same token, there's nothing wrong with knowing what a goto statement is. But I'm glad we don't have a popular book that implicitly advocates its use, or college classes that teach it to students as if it's the state of the art in control flow.
