Builder and factory are just semantic variations on a constructor. Builder just turns parameter assignments into individual functions that can be chained together.

[@cerulity32k]

Builder is my favourite. You can omit and add whatever you want, the depth and detail that you ask of the struct is (USUALLY) directly paired with the amount of chaining you do. You can go with defaults, specify a few parameters, add more if you need to, or you can do the equivalent of in-place initialisation (which although it may not be as performant unorganized unoptimised, compilers might recognise the simplicity of the chained functions and would be able to evaluate the code into an object literal).

[@mechantl0up]

I use the builder pattern for all my JS Web Components. I am surprised people are surprised at returning this. It works nicely with a functional style, too, with a builder class whose final commit returns a DOM node and other methods return this. The web component then basically builds as one function call that when returned returns the ready component. You may get away with using not a single if else for a full and fully parametrised component with ES6 if returning this from each build method except commit. Listeners and any other features are just properties inserted with the builder as each sub component is described by joining build calls with the dot notation. The build tree will thus extrapolate to any complexity, as a component can always comprise any of the builds, which can comprise any builds, and so on, till the call stack returns to the top level and a full HTML component with any child components is returned, and is inserted in the DOM with the final commit. In theory, the whole web page could be built thusly. Prettier than some React stuff I have seen.

I'm just about to suggest in my project to start using a Factory for a single reason. We have 5 different classes that create the same object using a builder BUT it isn't clear how many fields of that class have to be set up(spoiler all of its parameters so always the complete builder). To isolate in a single place how the creation of that object has to be, enforce validations and ensure one of the fields that is a map is always created correctly depending on 1 of those 5 usecases. If not we will snowball into having distribuited the creation logic across multiple places

[@CottidaeSEA]

And *that* is what factories are made for. To unify and hide away complexity from the developer who shouldn't have to worry about that stuff, and you still need to have some unified way to create everything. Oh, and I dislike factories (honestly not too keen of builders either) so I have every reason to absolutely shit on them. It's just that in some cases they actually do make sense. They are simply abused to infinity and beyond.

[@NihongoWakannai]

@@CottidaeSEA i feel like this how it goes for a lot of patterns. We hate them because of how they get misused, but by god they are very useful in their actual niche.

[@wadecodez]

don't use a builder or factory if instantiation params are wonky/unknown. you should consider writing a context object. then any methods/classes that have the wonky/painful params pull from a single source. you'll see this a lot in JS when working with large libraries. There will usually be a single settings object which describes how the library should behave. The key to keeping settings objects maintainable is making them immutable. Once you allow mutations to settings, you are no longer passing around context, you are passing around state. immutable context is predictable state is not.

[@CottidaeSEA]

[@zerosandones7547]

beginner question: what's the difference if I just use: new Burger("bun-type", "patty-type", "cheese-type"); vs the builder pattern?

[@zachmanifold]

The main difference is if there's a varying amount of options when building an object. Say that I'm a really weird person and only want a burger with only a bun (no patty or cheese). Then I can use burger = BurgerBuilder().addBun().build() Or if I only want bun with cheese (no meat), burger = BurgerBuilder().addBun().addCheese().build() Otherwise you'd need several different constructors to handle every possible combination (which quickly gets messy when multiple options are involved.) The burger example is not the greatest to show this difference but hopefully that made some sense

the code is in Python but you used the new keyword hahah. You don't need builder in Python cuz of default arguments, keyword arguments and dicts in Pythons.

[@c4tubo]

Common confusion: Observer is not Pub-Sub. Observers listen directly to their Observables/Subjects, so then each Observable/Subject must keep references to all of its Observers and become bound to their lifetimes. Publish-Subscribe adds one more level of indirection by having publishers and subscribers both depend directly upon a Channel between them; therefore they are tied to the lifetime of the channel rather than each other. Subscribers only become aware of publishers when notified with a message that provides the reference to the publisher if necessary.

[@Leto2ndAtreides]

I usually think about the Facade pattern in terms of delineation between groups of developers, or major functions in an app... But one could just consider it a part of UX (or DX) → You make stuff easier to communicate, understand, and use. I wouldn't think of it normally as an endpoint though - unless you were explaining the endpoint with docs in a "This is all you need to know to do this" sense. But I think that perspective comes from seeing Facades as typically being a class with clear features, and not just any point that simplifies interactions between one system and other systems.

[@0xCAFEF00D]

2:45 I'm completely missing why the factory is a separate class and not just a set of static create functions on the burger. Am I just to imagine we're passing the factory somewhere to use as a customization point? So others can make the burger I want. This just feels like code obfuscation until you have a LOT of places where you instantiate burgers that all should be uniform or at least follow the standard as a baseline. Alternatively a very complex standard burger. But if that's all I still think the static method makes more sense. It also seems like a mess to have such diverse objects that don't express that in the type system. Code that operates on burgers with customization significant enough that you have to abstract away some complex init function must be very hard to operate on and it doesn't seem the code subdivides the problem enough. The example doesn't show that because it's too simple to even consider writing. 5:00 Even more confused now. The builder pattern doesn't seem to be replacing the factory.

[@ACAndersen]

It doesn't need to be a class in python, you can just make a factory function. Also the example is not ideal. The factory pattern usually instantiates different subclasses, with different internal implementations. Using the pattern for different sets of arguments is not the common usage that describes the pattern.

The main idea is to not reinvent the wheel every time a similar problem occurs.

How are decorators different from derive macros in rust?

[@nickbanderson]

One is RUST and the other is NOT RUST

[@Ether_Void]

There are a few differences. For one derive macros can only be used on types (struct, enum, union), they see the definition and return the implementation for a certain trait and can't really do much else. Rust also has attribute macros which are less often used but they are a bit more similar to decorators. However Rust macros will always run at compile time and work on the syntax tree, where Python decorators run at runtime and work on class or function instances. Since the decorators in Python are running at runtime, they can already call functions and access attributes in the classes which isn't really possible with macros in Rust.

[@grantpeterson2524]

I used to dislike decorators, but I'm currently working in C# (which doesn't have them) and I keep running into instances where it would be really nice... I have a class that makes API calls asynchronously, but I need to limit the number of async calls being made at a time. So, I need to use a semaphore to force threads to await if all the other threads have used up the semaphore. Would be super nice to just use a decorator at the top of every method that makes an API call so that it wraps the execution with an await to the semaphore, but not an option for vanilla C#. I ended up creating another class called RequestExecutor that has methods that take lambda functions and do this instead, but it feels less clean.

[@aoeu256]

@@banatibor83 If you think decorators are bad, what about the abstractfactory patterns here. They are used for black-box aspect oriented programming to simplify your code, and are in JavaScript as well.

[@MrAbrazildo]

2:48, they just gave a name for a thing that has been made in C for decades: struct CheeseBurger { const char *ing_1, *ing_2, *ing_3 }; #define createCheeseBurger CheeseBurger { "bun", "cheese", "beef-patty" } And then call it by: CheeseBurger a_cheese_burger = createCheeseBurger; 5:20, this is a "lesser version" of C++ for 2 reasons: a) If 1 just wants to customize the initialization, C/C++ way is much better, as exposed above, due to compact syntax. b) If the goal is to customize it along the way, not only on initialization, it should has a control of which f() is allowed do that - _and it seems that only C++ has this feature_ . Otherwise, all sorts of bugs can come from it, because everything will be public, which is the worst nightmare, depending on the project complexity. 10:57, why use an interface for that? Couldn't it be just a class? 16:00, again, why an interface? This thing is awkwardly slow! 21:00, and that's why f() programming < OO: the 1st lacks good facades. In C, you can let that memory management "encapsulated" away in a different file. But there are issues: a) Each file like this will be dedicated to each object, which hurts scalability. b) If only 1 generic file like this is created, then the user will has to keep traveling alongside with that array, which is exposed to dumb mistakes for long unnecessary time. It's still possible to create several macros, trying to hide that array exposure, but it's still a precary solution.

"Can we pause for a second? I hate decorators" Hahahahaha

[@xBZZZZyt]

03:56 why put functions in class BurgerFactory instead of global?

[@kodekata]

Great comment at 15:48 . From a functional perspective, the "interface" you are crying out for, is just a function. However I don't think it's worth a full fedora-tip here, because as competent engineers we need to be prepared for any situation we may walk into. Such as George Clooney walked into in From Dusk Till Dawn.

[@kiffeeify]

I think the Singleton pattern as just a special case of "execution contexts" where there is only one global context. It can simplify code by removing the need to explicitly pass down dependencies into the callstack. However, as with all static globals, it creates global coupling. staying with the python example from the video I would always rather use a construct as below instead of a singleton: ```python with some_context_of_type_y(): with some_context_of_type_x(): foo() def foo(): y = get_y_object() x = get_x_object() ``` IMHO it gives better composability on the outside scope and has the same advantages as singletons on the inside scope.

[@ThomasZero288]

Yea there are very few scenarios to actually use this pattern once you have DI, in fact it only interferes with/breaks DI. The only two examples I can think where I would actually use it are A) a tiny app where I'm not going to include an IoC library or B) In the very initial boot of your app when the IoC container/AppContext is either half constructed or has not finished initializing and is in an unsafe/incomplete state, yet you still need access to critical components like a preInit logger. Cause if AppContext fails to initialize... and that's where you get your logger from... and you want to log the error... and it IoC fails to initialize.... so you want to log it... but it has the..... wait.. where was I? where am i?

[@sameeranadgaonkar9756]

he looks so guilty when talking about factories :P

[@ezg5221]

Python canonically uses exceptions for control flow lmao. Exception zealots in shambles

[@DuniC0]

Haha! Creational patterns look to me like a solution to several problems all bundled together as OOPsies!

this channel is my favorite netflix advertisement

7:05 why Python is the worst language to do classes?

[@aoeu256]

Python doesn't need classes for a lot of these patterns, because your module is an object and functions are objects as well. Closures can replace Strategy/Command pattern. Keyword arguments + dicts replace the builder pattern. Etc... etc...

[@HrHaakon]

I am convinced that the US has a different Java than the rest of us. The only place I know of that has abstract factories are frameworks like Spring. Because Spring can make a case for "I need to have a way of producing objects of whatever type specified", as well as "and I need to allow more than one way of doing it". And that's just because of the very generic way the IoC-container works.

[@mattymerr701]

All the patterns that seem simple and commonly used now show that these designs really were foundational.

[@im-a-trailblazer]

This guy is intense. But i think he works at Netflix right?

[@DagarCoH]

Saw the original before, generally good comments as far as my experience with these patterns go. One critique I have is your statement that "Everything is a facade, becaus you hide information" with something something private. Facade does obfuscate variables and functions from the programmer, but they are still accessible from the outside. Basically, Facade (at least as stated in the GangOf4) is an interface to a functionality that says "Hey, 99% of the time, you will want to use me by calling these couple of functions here. If you need more custom behaviour and you REALLY know what you are doing, you can also tweak all my other variables and use these other functions". So Facade gives you a set of convenient functions to use it with, but also allows for access to everything else about the interfaved functionality, if you want to.

[@nandomax3]

I love the builder pattern, it's so useful. And the factory pattern is also super helpful

[@aoeu256]

In Python keyword arguments and dictionaries tetrisgame(func1={arg1: 5}, object2={arg2: object3}) can replace builder pattern...

[@SAsquirtle]

​@@aoeu256can you elaborate?

[@TheEVEInspiration]

It is only useful when you need to control what actually gets instantiated or how it gets configured during or after constructing. In all other cases, just doing a "new" of the proper class is both simpler and easier to follow. So if there is this need, sure, go for it. But I will never consider it a pattern to default to.

Things i've learned in this Video -> Prime works at Netflix 😂

[@TheNewton]

Developer-Experience is the missing pattern category. 17:55 Facade is a DX pattern for every clean http endpoint , convenience functions , the porcelain over the plumbing.

[@CamembertDave]

Builder isn't "better" than factory, they are just suited to different circumstances - builder for flexibility; factory for simplicity. E.g. a library class uses builders in order to provide maximal functionality, but an app using that library wraps this in a factory to provide a simpler interface for the small number of specific uses its needed for in that app.

[@ThePrimeTimeagen]

I just tend to find that factories are not what I want, yet. That's what I find myself doing. But a builder almost universally is what I want. Oftentimes you can even interchange them and I find the results almost always better with builder and a good setup defaults

[@TehKarmalizer]

I agree with Prime. I’ve never liked factories. They aren’t as flexible as builders.

[@armynyus9123]

As a netflix btw guy Prime could/should have really said a bit more about the observer pattern. ReactiveX was a live changer for me, and that netflix talk about it sold it to me, back then.

[@jma42]

im a bit new to design patterns, and ive been struck into the type state pattern from rust, is type state pattern also a form of builder pattern?

[@tricky2014]

The implementation of the linkedlist iterator in the video is actually faulty. If you would create two iterators they would actually both modify the object.

[@v1Broadcaster]

one day will arch users will graduate to gentoo then RHEL followed by LFS or are they not good enough?

[@porky1118]

15:00 That's why I hate pattrens. They give things I do everyday, which aren't special to me, names, and call them patterns. And I'm supposed to know these patterns now. I had no idea what the strategy pattern is. I just pass functions to make my code more generic and that's it.

[@sch3me521]

I feel the same way. They're patterns in the sense that they appear a lot but I think the moment you start naming then and teaching useless toy examples to people they go from "common problem solving technique" to "tool I need to know and fit in my code somehow". I swear software engineering is the worst thing that has ever happened to programmers

[@robgrainger5314]

Where did you work again? Was it Prime Video? (ducks)

[@jearsh]

"if only...if only react was dying"...lol you get a million internet points

It's funny how the borrow from the French language lost the cédille, but kept the pronounciation : it's façade in French, where ç is pronounced like double s

[@cryingwater]

Did Singleton on a Java class and I was wondering why my JUnit tests were all green when I deliberately made a few fail to test if they work... Turns out JUnit never resets Singletons across tests. One of the few times I hated Singleton. I had to put in a @TestOnly method that resets the instance.

[@nevokrien95]

I did use a factory on my own. Needed to make a bot object that needed to load a few things from files assorted with a user Id. It was actually a ton of fun
