I saw Resign Patterns: Ailments of Unsuitable Project-Disoriented Software over at TheServerSide.NET:
Resign patterns documented include:
- Abject Poverty: The Abject Poverty Pattern is evident in software that is so difficult to test and maintain that doing so results in massive budget overruns.
- Simpleton: The Simpleton Pattern is an extremely complex pattern used for the most trivial of tasks. The Simpleton is an accurate indicator of the skill level of its creator.
- Detonator: The Detonator is extremely common, but often undetected. A common example is the calculations based on a 2 digit year field. This bomb is out there, and waiting to explode!
