I wish I could recommend this article multiple times.

Here’s the thing. I read a lot of news articles on technical subjects, and so
I’m extremely aware of all these patterns (so much so that I expected, before
reading this article, that I would have a lot to add); but, I can’t possibly
be reading as many of these as the people who write them for a living.
Occasionally I see an author whose work I respect move to a different context
and start making these mistakes. Are they being enforced? Are they just
popular because they are easy?
