What is the usage of common GoF design patterns in daily coding? I ask this because as a developer I'm constantly trying to improve both my code and my overall design, to create software that's easy to maintain and easy to extend--- hopefully easy to change without effecting the 'client' aspect through the use of interfaces etc---
Is there a more straight forward application of certain design patterns? For example, does anyone sit down and actually implement a bridge pattern in their code--- you read about it a lot, but only in academic articles, you equally read of people who find them absolutely useless most of the time... I don't think I'm being a dilletante when I imagine that people want to know how to implement good practices, and not simultaeneously have to think about the theory of state automata when they're developing.
Who is using GoF patterns on a daily basis, conciously and with apt reason, or rather, who is using these patterns as an abstraction for bro ...
