I get lost sometimes - @english-fitz

This meme perfectly illustrates the intriguing shift of attention among readers when Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was introduced. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice has long held its place as an iconic exploration of social expectations, love, and character-driven satire, wrapped in the witty, sharp observations of its author. Its universal themes and Austen's timeless prose have made it a beloved classic, studied and adored for generations.

Enter Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a literary pastiche that blends Austen’s sophisticated narrative with the absurdity of a zombie apocalypse. The allure of this adaptation lies in its clever contrast: it retains Austen's original dialogue and characters while inserting scenes of undead battles and survivalist tactics.

The reader’s attention, humorously represented by the distracted boyfriend, reflects how even the most devoted Austen fans were drawn to this unconventional reimagining.

While some literary purists and Austen devotees viewed the mash-up as a gimmicky distraction that diluted the original, others found it a refreshing and playful take that breathed new life into the Regency-era story. The adaptation manages to emphasize themes of resilience, social maneuvering, and class conflicts in a unique way—albeit with swords and bloodshed.

What makes Pride and Prejudice and Zombies so interesting is its dual nature: it invites readers to appreciate Austen's narrative mastery while simultaneously offering a critique on modern mash-up culture. It asks us to consider what it means to take something sacred in literature and transform it into something comically grotesque. This meme encapsulates how some readers felt torn between their loyalty to Austen’s refined work and their curiosity about the bold, action-packed retelling.

The pattern I decided to read is titled “Familiar Tools” from chapter 6 of Apprenticeship Patterns: Guidance for the Aspiring Software Craftsman by Dave Hoover and Adewale Oshineye. The problem that this pattern presents asks the reader how they plan on completing a work project if there are so many new things to learn with each project (from the technical to non-technical aspects). The solution to this problem starts by informing the reader that they should have a reliable set of familiar tools to use for each project they start. However, the reading goes on to explain that readers should be weary about how they use these tools and how dependent they are on these tools. A larger message stresses the importance of how in the process of becoming a journeyman, we may need to painfully abandon some tools and learn new, better, more effective tools in their place. The text ends by encouraging readers to either build a toolbox they can bring to a project, or if they already have a toolbox, examine potential replacement tools.

Reading this pattern was surprisingly encouraging. I don’t think that was an intention of this reading but the reason it had this effect on me was because as someone who is in the beginning of their journey in software development, it can feel pretty intimidating to just be starting out when there are people who have been working in this field for years. And yet, that person and I may be in the process of learning some of the same things today. While the other person is likely to have much more experience in using tools than I am, it is comforting to know there are things we will be learning at the same time.

This pattern has changed the way I think about my work because it has gotten my wheels turning as to what five tools I would like to have in my toolbox and what tools I think I need to continue exploring.
