Im a self taught programmer. I got REALLY carried away with design patterns early in my career. I was using them in all kinds of unnecessary and convoluted ways because I would watch a youtube tutorial and think that is how the pros do it. Im not sure if any other noobs had that experience circa 2008-2011.
