@jneira @kaleidic @notcalledjack This is so confusing. Are you really sure there is something useful behind all this? Really?

@dibblego I think it's only useful toward discussion of what may be familiar, or not, to different sorts of programmers, and why.

@kaleidic @dibblego Maybe I am missing some context in this drill down tweet stream, but isn't that what patterns are for? Good and bad.

@pandamonial I, too, see "patterns" as the same general topic as "idioms." That idea won't relieve @dibblego of his suspicions, I'll guess.

@kaleidic @pandamonial Well, I am far more certain that "patterns" is a useless concept.

@dibblego ...because having a name for a common approach (good or bad) is not needed? @kaleidic

@pandamonial @kaleidic Sure, I will call it, "being silly." Why euphemise with "patterns"? What useful purpose does this serve?

@dibblego @kaleidic simplified communication. I dont need to hear a description when there is a name.
