Yeah, they probably would.

The events of the recent past have me questioning why spend all these years gathering all this knowledge and experience in my head, while the person who comes after me wastes the exact same number of years gaining the same knowledge and experience, instead of them starting where I left off and continuing from there.

In other words, noobie programmers starting from the shoulders of an experienced one, instead of from the ground up.

And lets face it, most (not all :-) lecturers are ill-equipped to teach real software development based on real day to day experience.

@Laban, if I could propose to you that we, plus any other interested coder here, come together and offer our combined experience, to noobie programmers in our local colleges and Universities, what would say?

Picture this; a second year student knowing EVERYTHING you know about software development, what would they achieve by 4th year?

In software engineering, a design pattern is a general repeatable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design. A design pattern isn't a finished design that can be transformed directly into code. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations.
