Patterns and antipatterns are important, but naming is even more important. Calling "using a class when a function would suffice" "the OO antipattern" isn't going to help anybody.
I wish we wouldn't let today's tendency towards clickbait titles extend into engineering terminology.
- dang 6y agoI agree - it's baity and misleading, and so should be changed (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). I've replaced it with the article's phrase for what it's really about.
- Tomte 6y agoIn this case I don't find it terribly misleading. One thing that occurs to me regularly now is that I click on a submission that's new to me – only to find that I've already seen it under a different title. I agree with the policy of renaming submissions, but I wish you'd adjust your trigger level slightly towards less changes.
