Monkey patch: Overview, Pitfalls & Examples

Monkey patch is the act of dynamically modifying the runtime code (not the source code) of a dynamic programming language, and it is the information (data/code) used to modify the runtime code. Monkey patching adds or replaces programming aspects like methods, classes, attributes, and functions in memory. Modifying the runtime code allows for modifying…
