The document discusses 10 code anti-patterns that developers should avoid in software development. These anti-patterns include: 1) The Golden Hammer where the same solution is used for different problems, 2) Spaghetti Code which is messy and unorganized, 3) Reinventing the Wheel by creating custom solutions instead of using existing libraries, 4) Dependency Hell which occurs when too many third-party libraries are imported, 5) God Classes that have too many responsibilities, 6) Hard Coding values instead of externalizing them, 7) Boat Anchor code that is written but not needed, 8) Lava Flow legacy code that is risky to change, 9) Copy-Paste Programming without reviewing code, and 10) Cargo Cult Programming
Just because you’re going to hand over the task of building your app to a react native app development company doesn’t mean you can breathe a sigh of relief. You have to keep tabs on the developers to ensure they don’t make the mistakes described in this write-up.
PHP Mega Meetup, Sep, 2020, Anti patterns in phpAhmed Abdou
PHP is one of the easiest programming languages to use ever and powers more than half of the internet.
With this ease of use, certain common patterns emerge that become harmful. This is especially true when your product or service is not expected to die soon. Some anti-patterns are coding, others are related to operating your service, especially with new docker stacks. We will go over some of the most common pitfalls with a focus on enterprise development.
Michael Choi's process for designing web application(s), including which programming language to use, when to use Node.js, when to use a light-weight framework vs a heavy MVC framework, how to set up git for collaboration based on complexity of the project, how a tool like Jenkins can be used for continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment, where to host the data, what services to use for orchestrating containers or servers.

Need for Speed: Removing speed bumps from your Symfony projects ⚡️Łukasz Chruściel
No one wants their application to drag like a car stuck in the slow lane! Yet it’s all too common to encounter bumpy, pothole-filled solutions that slow the speed of any application. Symfony apps are not an exception.
In this talk, I will take you for a spin around the performance racetrack. We’ll explore common pitfalls - those hidden potholes on your application that can cause unexpected slowdowns. Learn how to spot these performance bumps early, and more importantly, how to navigate around them to keep your application running at top speed.
We will focus in particular on tuning your engine at the application level, making the right adjustments to ensure that your system responds like a well-oiled, high-performance race car.
Launch Your Streaming Platforms in MinutesRoshan Dwivedi
The claim of launching a streaming platform in minutes might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there are services that can significantly streamline the process. Here's a breakdown:
Pros of Speedy Streaming Platform Launch Services:
No coding required: These services often use drag-and-drop interfaces or pre-built templates, eliminating the need for programming knowledge.
Faster setup: Compared to building from scratch, these platforms can get you up and running much quicker.
All-in-one solutions: Many services offer features like content management systems (CMS), video players, and monetization tools, reducing the need for multiple integrations.
Things to Consider:
Limited customization: These platforms may offer less flexibility in design and functionality compared to custom-built solutions.
Scalability: As your audience grows, you might need to upgrade to a more robust platform or encounter limitations with the "quick launch" option.
Features: Carefully evaluate which features are included and if they meet your specific needs (e.g., live streaming, subscription options).
Examples of Services for Launching Streaming Platforms:
Muvi [muvi com]
Uscreen [usencreen tv]
Alternatives to Consider:
Existing Streaming platforms: Platforms like YouTube or Twitch might be suitable for basic streaming needs, though monetization options might be limited.
Custom Development: While more time-consuming, custom development offers the most control and flexibility for your platform.
Overall, launching a streaming platform in minutes might not be entirely realistic, but these services can significantly speed up the process compared to building from scratch. Carefully consider your needs and budget when choosing the best option for you.

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

2. Intro
The general performance, maintenance, and scalability of an application or system depend highly on the code
structure. Unfortunately, due to the complex nature of software development, developers working on an application
might resolve to use anti-patterns as a quick solution to a problem. Unfortunately, most of these anti-patterns end up
causing problems to the general functionality of an application and future code maintenance.
Here are 10 code anti-patterns you should avoid in software development:
1. The Golden Hammer
2. Spaghetti Code
3. Reinventing the Wheel
4. Dependency Hell
5. God Object or God Class
6. Hard Coding
7. Boat Anchor
8. Lava Flow
9. Copy – Paste Programming
10. Cargo – Cult Programming
3. Intro
● In other words, anti-patterns might look like a good solution at first but eventually turn out to
be the opposite, doing more harm than good.
● Anti-patterns have a negative impact on your software. They either introduce more bugs,
raise security issues, or hinder code readability and maintenance. Below are ten code
anti-patterns that will help you improve how you write your code.
4. 1- The Golden Hammer
● This anti-pattern is a well-known solution in software development and is commonly used to
make the development process much faster. It refers to the concept of using the same
solution used to solve problem “A” to solve problem “B.”
● In software development, every problem has a unique solution. Always remember to
choose the right tools, libraries, frameworks, and architecture for every problem. It is always
recommended to come up with at least two solutions for each problem. Weigh the pros and
cons of each before deciding to implement one that you find suitable.
5. 2- Spaghetti Code
● Have you ever looked at a plate of spaghetti and just observed how each spaghetti is
tangled and jumbled with each other? You can’t even know the start or the end of every
spaghetti. Well, in software development, it is not a surprise to come across code similar to
that.
● Most applications today are a victim of this. It mainly arises when a developer starts working
on a project before taking note of the program flow and understanding the documentation
well.
● Things become worse as your program grows. Your already messy code becomes messier.
You start having multiple functions in different files invoking each other. You start copying and
pasting a piece of already working code to solve a problem in a different part of your
application. Whenever you delete a single function, half of the application breaks.
6. 3- Reinventing the Wheel
● A scenario where developers opt to come up with a custom solution instead of using the
existing solution in the market with the help of API and libraries.
● Think of a company that wants to add a blog/posts page on its website. It will take time and
resources if developers decide to develop a custom CMS (Content Management System)
from scratch. Instead, they can opt for already existing solutions such as WordPress, Joomla,
and even headless CMS like Strapi, Ghost, or Contentful.
7. 4- Dependency Hell
● In most cases, when you focus much on avoiding “Reinventing the Wheel,” you will most
likely fall into the “dependency hell.” Instead of developers developing custom solutions, they
import many third-party libraries into their projects. Unfortunately, some of these libraries
also rely on other external libraries.
●
8. 5- God Object or God Class
● This anti-pattern goes against the Principle of Single Responsibility in programming.
According to this principle, every class should only have a single responsibility or single
purpose in your project.
● This issue arises when developers ignore creating additional classes during the project’s
initial phase and plan to do that later. Unfortunately, they continue adding more
responsibilities to the initial class that even other functions and methods depend solely on.
In most cases, it is perceived as the application’s main class.
● Ex: guest_email_settings, guest_sms_settings
9. 6- Hard Coding
● This anti-pattern is most common in web development. A developer directly adds various parameters
into the source code instead of fetching them from, say, a database, API, user input, the ‘.env’ file,
etc.
● Two main issues arise with this anti-pattern. The first is security. If you hardcode an authentication
parameter such as an API access token or JWT token, somebody can easily access it by just viewing
the source code from the browser.
● The other issue is environmental change. When you hardcode parameters when working in
“development,” your application will work perfectly. However, the application breaks when you push
the changes to the “production” environment. You will need to edit the source code every time to suit
every environment.
10. 7- Boat Anchor
● This anti-pattern mainly arises when developers code an application with the “what if” question in
mind. What if I need to add this functionality in the future? What if this particular scenario occurs in
my code while in production? What if a user tries to access this feature?
● With all these “what if” questions in mind, developers eventually write additional lines of code not
needed by the application at that particular moment. According to them, these extra lines might
become helpful in the future. Unfortunately, this anti-pattern does more harm than good.
● This “unneeded” code becomes like a “boat anchor” It does nothing as of that moment, but your
application still has to carry it because you think you might require that code in the future.
11. 8- Lava Flow
● Lava flow anti-pattern refers to the concept where developers have to deal with redundant or
low-quality code but appears to have a role in the general working of the application.
Removing or editing this code becomes quite risky since you are unaware of what will
happen to the app.
● Most of these issues arise from legacy code written during the project’s initial phase. Maybe
the developer did not follow the documentation, or the project was moving too fast, and they
didn’t have time to optimize and refactor the code.
● The best solution to lava flows is extensive testing and refactoring. Unfortunately, it’s easier
said than done. Developers will spend much time trying to understand the code, and they
might end up leaving it as it is for fear of breaking the application.
12. 9- Copy – Paste Programming
● most copy and paste code snippets from stack overflow, GitHub, blogs, and youtube videos.
● Unfortunately, most developers don’t analyze the impact of this copy-pasted code; the only
thing that matters is that “it works!”
● You should test this copied code very well and make sure it covers all your test cases!
13. 10- Cargo – Cult Programming
● This anti-pattern derives its name from an interesting story. After the second world war,
tribal societies from the south pacific came into contact with the advanced Western
Civilization. It was the first time for the natives to see manufactured products such as radios,
Coca-Cola, etc., brought to the island.
● Since they had never seen such things (cargo) before and didn’t understand how they were
manufactured, they saw the Americans as gods. They started imitating whatever the
Westerners were doing, hoping the gods would send more cargo to the island. That led to the
rise of the name “cargo cults.”
