Exploring the Decorator pattern — how to dynamically add behaviour to objects without modifying their class, keeping code open for extension and closed for modification.
A look at the Factory pattern and how it centralises and simplifies object creation, decoupling callers from the specifics of how objects are constructed.
Understanding the Strategy pattern — how to encapsulate interchangeable algorithms behind a common interface, making behaviour easy to swap at runtime.
An introduction to the Design Patterns series, exploring how classic patterns like Decorator, Factory, and Strategy help us write cleaner, more maintainable code.
Why hidden coupling is one of the most damaging problems in a codebase — how it forms, why it's hard to see, and practical approaches to identify and address it.
Building a stateful fluent builder to create clean, readable, and type-safe object construction APIs — and why stateful variants are sometimes more useful than the classic pattern.
