There is one thing to have patterns emerging from code and being able to identify them and trying to shoehorn your code into patterns . Obviously the latter is a problem and I think it’s the culprit for the hate design patterns get. From my experince..

However, I don’t disqualify the use of design patterns, they do have their own merits when used properly.
