This video is pure gold!
Alister, I'm your fan, one day I'll be as good as you are.

I'm pretty certain I've been guilty of most anti-patterns over the years but I'm pleased to say I've gradually learnt to avoid (nearly) all of them nowadays.

Really excellent video - did not know about CTRL + SHIFT + V :)

I like the short-cut keypresses appearing like they do.

Thanks Alister.

Use of #10 as Linebreak instead of sLineBreak is also an AntiPattern

I object to every bad piece of code (or even a compiler warning) being called an anti-pattern nowadays. Before we know it every group of statements is going to be called a pattern!
