PatternDictionaryGamePlusPlus

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.
