A Codework Orange

Things are taking a turn for the weird. My lecturer for Advanced Software Development has informed us how he believes design patterns are a marker of the deficiencies of a language. (With which I agree wholeheartedly.) He is now proceeding to teach us design patterns.

I'm not sure whether this is a case of 'know your enemy' or Clockwork Orange-style indoctrination to get us to foam at the mouths if somebody so much as mentions a facade, but either way, I think I approve...maybe?

Maybe the powers that be have forced him to teach Java against his wishes, and he's doomed to spend the rest of his days teaching us how to write a unit test with a mock Factory Visitor watching over his shoulders, the Chain of Responsibility weighing heavily on his shoulders. If I were him I'd implement a Proxy of myself and insert it into lectures...
