You are a
PatternPerson if:
- You constantly bring up Patterns at design meetings.
- You tell your friends that the GangOfFour book changed your (programming) life.
- Your copy of PLoP94 proceedings is already showing signs of being well-thumbed.
- You find yourself constantly quoting ChristopherAlexander in work related software documentation.
- Your co-workers avoid you in the halls when they see you carrying the PLoP94 book, any book by ChristopherAlexander, or the GangOfFour book.
- You get angry when a co-worker tells you that Patterns are just another way to write documentation.
- You 'reload' the RecentChanges page more than twice a day.
Are there more identifying traits?
