Java devs really looked at design patterns and said "you know what? Let's just keep adding layers until nobody knows what's going on anymore." Started with a simple order interface—totally reasonable. Then came the factory pattern because apparently we can't just instantiate objects like normal people. But wait, we need a factory to create our factories! And naturally, the factory interface needs its own factory. Before you know it, you're 17 layers deep in abstraction, your class names are longer than your actual code, and you're trying to convince yourself that AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean is "clean" and "maintainable." The clown makeup getting progressively more ridiculous perfectly captures the mental gymnastics required to justify this level of over-engineering. Enterprise Java in a nutshell: where adding three interfaces and two factories to create a single object is considered best practice.
