Skipped the "fear" part of the path to the dark side, you have. And with anger, you started. But anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. Hmmmm.

But yeah, same here. :D I think naming anti-patterns and learning of their existence makes you more aware of them.

Also, I'm surprised by how many terms in computer science have a religious or magical link. Kinda makes me think that most people, apparently even devs themselves, think of programming as something kind of mystical or mysterious.
