Service locator: an anti-pattern

Read Original

This technical article analyzes the service locator pattern as an anti-pattern in software development, specifically within the Laravel PHP framework. The author, a developer, details three core problems: increased risk of runtime errors, obfuscated code dependencies, and higher cognitive load. It includes a practical example using a `CreatePostAction` class to illustrate the issues and advocates for compile-time error detection over runtime errors.
