> The phase of my career where I drank the SOLID kool-aid and studied and tried to apply the hip architectural patterns is one of the darkest and most regrettable. I'm still dealing with bad decisions made in code bases from that period.

does this come from the architectural patterns themselves, or from applying them everywhere (including where they dont fit)?

or maybe something else?

(i have my own experiences, but im really keen to hear from others)
