Then whoever wrote that code you looked at has no clue what they were doing and has a near zero understanding of design patterns or OOP. > Patterns take extreme discipline. On the contrary, design patterns are everywhere, and developers often use some form of them without even knowing. In such cases it often only requires some small form of code tuning to get a better design. Simple example: Ever used TAction in Delphi or Lazarus? Yes? Well, then you have been using the Command pattern (well some form of the Command pattern). VCL actually has quite a few design patterns implemented. And to reiterate an earlier point I made: design patterns are *not* a code template, they are a design guideline for solving a common problem, and each design may differ in implementation.
