I can only discourage anyone from applying Java patterns all over the place. One example in JavaScript: There was a functionality that required some parameters with default values. The plain solution would have been:

    function doStuff({ x = 9, y = 10 } = {}) {  ... }

Instead, they created a class with private properties and used the builder pattern to set them. Totally unnecessary.
