  Here is an example of the Builder pattern that illustrates my point: https://www.baeldung.com/java-builder-pattern#bd-classic-builder-pattern https://www.baeldung.com/java-builder-pattern#bd-classic-bui... Let’s remove the category argument and you get this: Post post = new Post.Builder() .title("Java Builder Pattern") .text("Explaining how to implement the Builder Pattern in Java") .build(); This builder is a more readable alternative to this: Post post = new Post("Java Builder Pattern", "Explaining how to implement the Builder Pattern in Java", null); But if Java supported named arguments and default values (the default would be null), this could just be: Post post = new Post(title: "Java Builder Pattern", text: "Explaining how to implement the Builder Pattern in Java");
