Is wearing blue denim jacket and jeans an anti-pattern? Is vegemite an anti-pattern? Can't we just say "obsolete", or "bad idea"?
[I've always found "reach out" to be hilarious, (what, with my arms?) but it's so common now I'm the oddball]
(Or, more cynically, "This problem is thorny and I wish to bury it rather than put in the time and work to fix it.")
Using the expression "reach out" is such an anti-pattern.
The Canadian tuxedo is clearly a best practice.
