Java: Pattern Abuse
Answer
Over-engineering involves using patterns without need, increasing complexity.
Recognize over-engineering when patterns add no clear benefit or when simpler solutions suffice. In Java, if a checkout system becomes unwieldy with too many proxy or factory classes for a straightforward procedure, it's likely over-engineered. Simplify by removing redundant patterns.
