Con Patterns

Con Patters are not anti-patterns, but patterns used by con-artists. Rich detailed some of them discussed in Ocean's Twelve.

This is exactly what Design Patterns provide, an agreed vocabulary of best practices to accomplish specific tasks. I remember when I started learning about design patterns, my response to a number of them were "I've been more or less doing this for years. So that is what it is called." As developers we have developed and been using these patterns for years, but we never knew what to call them.
