An anti-pattern is a pattern that you use to fix a short-term problem at the expense of your long-term goals. The insidious thing about anti-patterns isn't that they don't work or fail outright, but that they work in the short term while causing long-term failure and pain. Today on the show, Jonathan, Jillian, and Will discuss the various anti-patterns and cargo culting in software engineering, including password management, team structures, mean time to recover, and docker files management.
