A pattern is simply a device used to skip out on costly dollars (as opposed

I think it also to some extent comes down to having a shared
vocabulary. Pretty much the same way that you know which technique I'm
talking about when I use the word recursion, which algorithm I'm
talking about when I say quick sort and which data structure I mean
when I say linked list. It's way
