Not the OP, but no. Those are concepts that are important that need to be understood through experience and applied judiciously wherever they help (which is lots of places) but never by rote and not where an alternate approach is better.

That's quite distinct from design patterns, which are usually taken as gospel that needs to be followed for its own sake.

My karate sensei used to say that while all kyu ranks must follow the katas with extreme precision, the higher dan blackbelts have absorbed the knowledge and can ignore and innovate.

In that sense design patterns are like katas. Training wheels, but not an end-goal.
