Updated: 2022-03-15

A common question during technical interview is about patterns. Some are pretty common and they should be known by each developer (IoC, MVC etc.). To be more original you can try to talk about less commonly quoted pattern. To remember more original pattern you can link the different roles of a project to the name of some pattern. Usually you will have some of this roles present at the interview, helping you to remember the pattern.
