Patterns vs. Anti-Patterns: The Architectural Compass

In the world of software architecture, we don’t use confusing diagrams; we use Patterns and Anti-Patterns. These aren’t just abstract concepts—they are the accumulated experience and results of decades of software engineering. They are your architectural compass, guiding you toward robust, elegant solutions and steering you away from common pitfalls that lead to disasters.

Understanding the difference between a pattern (the good idea) and an anti-pattern (the bad idea that looks like a good idea) is the most important skill for any developer or architect aiming to build systems that not only work today but can also evolve in future.
