Clean code Memes

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.

Java developers have this special talent for turning a simple problem into an architectural masterpiece nobody asked for. You need to create an order? Cool. But wait—what if we need an interface for flexibility? And obviously we need a factory to create those orders. But hold on, what if we need to create factories? Better make a factory factory . And naturally, that factory factory needs an interface too. Before you know it, you've got 47 files just to instantiate a single object. The best part? They'll defend this madness by saying it's "maintainable" and "testable" while the rest of us are shipping features. Enterprise Java turned abstraction into a competitive sport, and honestly, they're winning medals nobody wants. Meanwhile, Python devs are over here like: order = Order() and calling it a day.
