> Is Anti-pattern obsession an anti-pattern? No. It's precisely because the world is so complicated and the broad generalizations don't work that I think patterns and anti-patterns (ideally with stories behind them that explain the context in which the author discovered them) are so much more useful than, say, the rule format that so much of our industry's content is wrapped in ("stop doing X", "you should be doing Y", and so on).
