Design patterns suck. They're too often overused and abused -- for every place a design pattern is applied correctly, it's mashed and mangled a hundred times where it doesn't belong.

If it was your team, the fault is partly yours. You should have had the balls to tell him to sit down and shut the fuck up, rather than be passive-aggressive about it. Sure, you step on people's toes, but that's the only way anything useful can ever get done.
