HeyLaughingBoy is right about patterns being built into frameworks we use today (can’t reply to that comment because it’s nested too deeply).
Rails is an example. I’ve seen a number of talks and articles by DHH that emphasize patterns and talking with people who wrote patterns. Rails built those in (like “model view controller”).
Libraries and frameworks weren’t publicly available 30 years ago. Certainly not for free. The patterns are still useful, it’s just that a library or framework is often more efficient than reimplementing a pattern from scratch.
