I agree with many of these, but not the “if statement” one.

Sure, if it’s just one place where an object’s behavior differs slightly it makes sense but as soon as the logic has to be applied in a few different methods what you’ve done is spread out the implementation across the codebase.

Then you get methods like def CheckUserRole(is_test_mode, is_oauth, is_local, impersonate_mode, override_admin = false)

Much of the tech debt we deal with comes from ignorance or failure to understand the lessons of the past 50 years of software engineering. Classes and Types were invented to keep code manageable and maintainable. When it’s just one dev working locally, fine - store everything in one big dict, you’re only hurting yourself. But complex software projects need to be maintained by teams. All that “boilerplate” you’re complaining about is part of the communication that makes it easier for others to understand what you’ve written.

Everyone else is like: is it git checkout -b or git branch --set-upstream-to?

Oohhh you sat down in the nice place

Simpson scandal update: Homer sleeps nude in an oxygen tent which he believes gives him sexual powers.

From those emails I didn’t forward and Facebook posts I didn’t re-share? Finally!

We’re supposed to do what now?

The shoe analogy is an example of the “hidden variable” interpretation, which unfortunately is disproven by Bells Theorem.

The thing about quantum mechanics is that it’s just different to classical mechanics. Any attempt to explain the behavior using a non-quantum analogy is going to be insufficient. How do electrons behave? They behave like electrons according to the rules of quantum physics… Not like tennis balls.

Damn did that description just assume the rats stole those things??

Wow. 2514 gold coins! What a find!

Well, Pac-man was originally called Puck-man. They changed it because… Not because Pac-man looks like a hockey puck. “Paku Paku” means “flap your mouth”, and they were worried that people would change, scratch out the P turn it into an F, like… Um… Am dreaming? leave you alone forever now.
