In the world of PHP development, design patterns are particularly useful.

> This is a great read!
> I disagree with one of the patterns implementation, though:
> A command should - from a natural perspective - not be able to execute itself. There must always be a sender as well as a receiver.
> To give a stupendously simple example: When you give a command to your dog, the dog will be the receiver and the one to - if you’re lucky - execute the command. The command won‘t execute itself in dependence of the dog.

> I tend to see many implementations using the pattern as described in the article, though I think it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
