“Your tree?” — Racoon, probably

My expectation is that this is something core that programmers should be aware of all the time. Forgetting about this is like forgetting about this is like forgetting what an interface is. It’s at the core of what we do. At least I think so, maybe I’m wrong assuming this is something every programmer should be aware of all the time.

Do we really need a video about this in 2024? Shouldn’t this be already a core part of our education as software engineers?

Damn, I’ve never DMd someone on Lemmy. Is that normal?

The title of the post is “how to avoid if-else hell”, not “how to avoid conditionals”. Not sure what’s your point.

So you probably have to go and fix it now. Good luck.

It’s a joke… Before I’m sentenced to death by downvotes.

Learning how Systemd manages the network was a total mindfuck. There are so many alternatives, all of them being used differently by different tools, partially supported.

I was really into learning how things really worked in Linux and this was a slap to my face because my mindset was “Linux is so straightforward”. No, it is not, it is actually a mess like most systems. I know this isn’t a “Linux” issue, I’m just ranting about this specific ecosystem.

You have not seen evidence for most of the things that are happening in the universe.

Again, we don’t really understand the nature of the universe. We barely understand some of its rules, probably in a very incomplete or scoped way. Whatever you choose to believe in this matter is just a guess.

One day we’ll probably understand the inner workings, we’ll probably be able to simulate the actual origin, we’ll be able to figure out all the interactions. Until that day arrives, if it ever does, we should just stop playing this guessing game and accept we just don’t know.
