Let's play the PatternDictionaryGame++ Here's how it is played: * Take any positive word, statement or cliche * State how it could be applied as a software pattern * For double points, state it's opposite as well(see TriteSayingsComeInPairs) - this results in a zen balance ''Example'' Cliche and counter-cliche * Silence is golden * The squeaky wheel gets the grease. So: * Apply ReportBugsSilently and SilentFailureNoisySuccess to avoid annoying the user * Allow the software to ExposeErrors to curious developers ---- Note: This is the cleaner refactored form of the PatternDictionaryGame Playing this game provides insight into how software development patterns are ubiquitous and rooted in reality. ---- See: BeyondTheFormlessForm FiveStarProgrammer
