🐍 Spokane Python User Group Presents: Anti-Patterns in Software Development

### 🐍 Spokane Python User Group Presents: Anti-Patterns in Software Development

Join us for an evening of coding conversation, laughter, and learning as we explore one of the most relatable topics in software development — anti-patterns!

We’ll dive into those common traps and “gotchas” that every developer encounters sooner or later — from over-engineering and premature optimization to spaghetti code and cargo cult programming. Together, we’ll unpack why these patterns creep into our projects, how to recognize them early, and most importantly, how to turn them into opportunities for cleaner, more maintainable code.
This session will include:

• 💡 Real-world examples (and a few fun horror stories)
• 🧭 Practical tips for avoiding common pitfalls
• 👥 Open discussion — share your own war stories or lessons learned!

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been shipping software for years, this meetup will have something for you. It’s a casual, welcoming environment where we learn from each other — not just from the code.

When: [Insert date/time]
Where: [Insert location or link if virtual]
Who: Anyone interested in Python (and/or Golang and/or Rust) and software craftsmanship

Come for the code, stay for the community.
