Design Pattern Culture

Definitions

1. A culture that leans heavily on named patterns and reusable design ideas when discussing architecture and implementation. This can create shared vocabulary, though it can also drift into cargo-cult use of patterns without understanding their tradeoffs.

   In plain English: A culture that relies heavily on design patterns as shared vocabulary and practice.

   Example: "Their design pattern culture was strongest when patterns were treated as tools, not as status signals proving someone had read the right books."
