Have you ever heard words like below?

  • “We’d better off not using design patterns.”
  • “Design patterns introduce complexity and we want to keep things simple.”
  • “Those patterns are just for huge codebases.”

Undoubtedly, the more experienced a developer is, the more knowledge on design patterns/anti-patterns, common pitfalls, and best practices they posses. So, you can weigh the technical superiority of a company/team/developer with their appreciation for standing on the shoulders of giants.

So, if your answer was positive, recalibrate your technical expectations from your current workplace.
