I’ve been hearing and reading about cases when people had come across cases of overused design patterns. Ok, missused design patterns are understandable phenomenon. What does it actually mean overused design patterns?
Do you have any examples and why do you think there are too many patterns?
The singleton is probably the most overused design pattern. I often see it used in many cases when it’s out of scope and much more appropriate to directly instantiate objects.
After that, I believe the factory pattern is way overused as a shortcut of instantiating objects, many times without a real need.
