Pattern Person
You are a PatternPerson if:
-
You constantly bring up Patterns at design meetings.
-
You tell your friends that the GangOfFour book changed your (programming) life.
-
Your copy of PLoP94 proceedings is already showing signs of being well-thumbed.
-
You find yourself constantly quoting ChristopherAlexander in work related software documentation.
-
Your co-workers avoid you in the halls when they see you carrying the PLoP94 book, any book by ChristopherAlexander, or the GangOfFour book.
-
You get angry when a co-worker tells you that Patterns are just another way to write documentation.
-
You 'reload' the RecentChanges page more than twice a day.
Are there more identifying traits?
