Pattern Mining and Naming
In this chapter, they discuss the process of writing and codifying a pattern in API design. They explain that patterns are not created, but rather mined from real-life solutions. They talk about the elements of a pattern, such as the name, the forces it addresses, the benefits and drawbacks, and provide examples. They also discuss the importance of naming the patterns and the challenges of settling on a single name when different communities use different names for the same pattern. They emphasize the iterative process of refining the pattern and changing the name until it accurately describes the solution.
