I love this game.

React is an example of a technology which was a HUGE antipattern for web developers and eventually it became what everyone was doing... until the next antipattern buster.

Not that one is wrong for thinking of something as an antipattern, but it’s often used to end conversations instead of starting them. Clean code follows many patterns, and if things are done with care I don’t think anything is an antipattern in and of itself.
