"...because it means they are using a modern coding pattern and can learn from it and see great commentary about why this was the "chosen" pattern." Unfortunately it means no such thing. I have seen junior engineers search stack overflow and click for easiest/fewest lines of code with no regard to why. You took the OP extreme view and countered it with your own which is equally biased. Let everyone just be honest about it is all. How else are we supposed to learn? Actively thinking and engaging others when we don't know.
