#anti-pattern

[utilitymonstermash]

"Anti-pattern" is such a dumb term. The opposite of a pattern isn't a pattern but bad. "Anti-Pattern" should clearly mean something anti-inductive or with low autocorrelation. A pattern but bad should be a "Malpattern" or similar.

Looks kinda unnatural without fur, just out of place.

''There are likely design patterns applicable to whatever you are doing…For writing books like this, there are many design patterns, from the way the book is laid out and printed to the length and writing style expected. The same is true in our careers: design patterns for startups (how they are commonly financed, managed, etc.), coding (how code is structured, common algorithms, etc.), and biostatistics (common drug trial designs, statistical methods, etc.).

The opposite of the well-tested design pattern is the anti-pattern, a seemingly intuitive but actually ineffective “solution” to a common problem that often already has a known, better solution. … You can avoid anti-patterns by explicitly looking for them and then seeking out established design patterns instead.

While some amount of planning is always useful, sometimes the most efficient way to finish a task is to dive in quickly and start, rather than getting bogged down in analysis paralysis.''

Currently Listening To: "Anti-pattern" by After The Burial

Lack of Integrity Anyone?

In fact, the green Apple picked doesn’t even pass the WCAG accessibility test, with a score of 2.18 which is considered “very poor”². It impacts the user experience for everyone but especially for the users with visual disabilities.

An intentionally bad design because Apple is ... what class?

Pathetic.

Back on the testosterone and the migraines fade away. I’m furious that I’m being denied a treatment that works for me. All medicines work on a bell curve - yes, most people benefit from a certain dose, but there will be others who can only get an effect from a massive dose and some who need a small dose of any given substance.

Hugh puts it this way

This is a great example of a systemic antipattern called “description becomes prescription”, whereby something that describes (eg average testosterone levels in a population) becomes the benchmark to which all should subscribe. This anti pattern is everywhere, including religion (“real” Christians do X, so you can’t be one unless you do X). It’s a false syllogism.

I only wish I could be so articulate. Still, I have to bide my time for now and hope that I can get my needs met legitimately, which is all that I ask for. 

Meanwhile I’m focusing on getting things done for my trip to Dublin. The dog needs her own bag packed, and then I have to make my flat clean and welcoming for Mari who is taking over from Julie but here. This involves doing lots of laundry and cleaning as well as my own personal admin. The flow of preparations is interrupted by my MP’s office emailing me to say that the Housing Association haven’t got back to him, and did I have a complaints reference number so he could chase it up and take it to the Housing Ombudsman. 

On the gov.uk page about going to the ombudsman I read that 

The regulator cannot help to resolve individual tenant complaints but can consider whether individual complaints are evidence of systematic failings by the landlord

So I focus on what I’d like them to do better. I don’t know what current regulations are regarding what they call Decent Homes, and although I’m sure mine has been pushed into not being one by the neglect of the landlord, I decide that my focus will be on the way in which I’ve had to talk to maybe 30 plus different people on the phone, or via email, and how stressful this has been. I’ve been told point blank that Southern Housing ‘don’t do’ single point of contact, but it seems to me that under the 2010 Equalities Act disabled people have a right to be levelled up to equality of access to repairs, lets say, and that having to waste my one good usable hour a day on phoning or emailing them for four months represents discrimination. Let’s see if that flies. The daughter of the guy downstairs is talking about compensation, but although compensation would not be unwelcome I’d like to see a change in policy, so that I feel more secure in my home in terms of access to repairs. The big pay off would be if I could get the policy changed for everyone.

I’m not in a position to conduct political campaigns, but having sunk several months of mental labour into this already it would be good to have an outcome I can be proud of. 

There are too many things going on right now. I’m struggling to prioritise, but with my trip almost imminent, I’m focusing on that today. I’ve set aside time this week because next week will pass quickly, and I have an ENT appointment right in the middle of it which will trash a day at least. I’ve had this procedure before -where they pass a camera up your nose and down your throat. I actually don’t expect anything to come of it, but it’s part of the medical process. I can’t help but feel trapped. Between the administration of my bodily failures and a precarious living situation the only sense of freedom I have right now is here on the page, and this trip to see Terri.

Code for Production not for Development

Code for Production not for Development

An anti-pattern I have observed and propably also been the cause of is:

Coding for Development first, Production second

The challenge with this anti-patterns is that it is pretty concealed, it is not done out of evil intententions, infact actually the opposite, but it is an anti-pattern.

The pattern can have the following effects:

It introduces unnecessary complexity

It can introduce security…
