Design Patterns for Humans is a developer-friendly guide that explains classic software design patterns using plain language, intuitive analogies, and succinct code examples. Instead of dense academic prose, it focuses on “why” and “when” to use a pattern, including trade-offs that help readers make pragmatic choices. The material groups patterns into categories such as creational, structural, and behavioral, mirroring common references while staying approachable for self-study. Each pattern’s section typically includes intent, real-world motivation, and an example implementation to cement understanding. The repository is designed to be skimmed or studied deeply, so you can revisit it as a quick refresher before interviews or architectural decisions. It aims to demystify patterns so they become practical tools rather than theoretical jargon.
