I declare copypasta and design patterns, save for very rare exceptions, are sign of a sucky programmer or a sucky non-functional language at work. Programmer editors should have an option to produce a warning when you paste more than two lines or 80 non-whitespace characters, telling you that you are doing something wrong.
When working with a decent language, and by decent I mean anything that allows you to barely work with dynamic functions, so anything from PHP counts, I can hardly think of a situation where you'd need to copypasta your code, let alone use a professional enterprise best-practices design pattern.
