Ahh, Fowler. The author that gave the World such gifts as Dependency Injection, Inversion of Control and other over-engineered "patterns". This is just my opinion obviously, based on experience spanning from the early 90s.

That's like blaming Fleming for the antibiotic crisis. Just because you have a pattern, you shouldn't use it preemptively.

Agreed, although the Java culture took the patterns and applied them in a cargo-cult frenzy. I do think the likes of Fowler and the so called Gang of Four are to blame for many of the Sun's later mistakes in API design and for the culture of patterns-everywhere in that era.
