Amazing Article, Mario!

Eric's book is definitive a must read Many people stick to the original gang of four patterns, but we learned a lot, discovered many new ones and also deprecated some.

They never updated their book for reasons beyond this article and our profession continued to evolve.

Thanks Maxi!

Yes, you are right. A long time has passed and that's why I think it makes sense to wonder whether design patterns are still relevant.

But, in this article, I wanted to talk about benefits of the very notion of 'design pattern', not necessarily the patterns that are described in the GoF book.

I am not sure that this is clear in the article, but I do mention the DDD book and also 'Dependency Injection', which is a design pattern that is clearly not from the GoF book.
