Continuous Obsolescence

Continuous Obsolescence: This is the hardest Anti-Pattern to overcome. Corporations have their pet system that they mutate every time a new computer language and/or buzz-word builder comes down the pike to the developers. As soon as the pet system is migrated into the new language and/or method it becomes obsolete and thereby cancels any possibility of developers receiving a bonus for bringing the design in on time. It is also used to justify corporate heads existence by moving the blame for a poorly designed system to a new language and/or method of construction.
