Only valid in PHP?

Also bad: When you ask XOR questions, but people think they’re funny and give you OR answers instead.
True
Why not both?
TypeError:

I have been moved into their department and I feel like they never had the chance to share all of their accumulated knowledge with someone, so they kinda dump it onto me and every little question has the chance to become a lecture. I am very thankful for it though, because I get learn a ton but sometimes you just wanna get a bool, without learning kernel internals that are absolutely not related to the question
My relationship is the opposite. My wife asks me a boolean question but expects a string response.
the string:
“Yeah, no.”
Like LLMs
Similarly it also grinds my gears when I ask an enum question but they return a bool. I gave multiple options and “yes” was not one of them.
Sounds like a problem in the question. “Yes” is a perfectly valid response to “Do you want eggs or cheese”?
I usually use yes/no for the first condition if it’s XOR with 2 options (thus the second yes/no is implied).
Include or is the funniest answers when possible. I do it all the time to confuse neurotypicals.
People want a yes or no so they can generate their own hallucinated string based on it. The returned string is just trying to get ahead of that.
Sometimes.
In those cases, “there isn’t a yes/no answer to your question because…”
I ask my jrs simple yes/no questions all the time.
Did you open a PR? Does it pass the CI pipeline? Did you write a test for scenario X?
I’m here to help you, but my time is unfortunately limited. If it takes half of our available time just to drag out of you where you’re at we’re all worse off for it.
The only thing worse than that is emailing them a simple boolean question and then your phone rings.
Sounds like you should respond to that with a 400 Bad Request
The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).
x402 … charge for your time.
Id ho with
415 Unsupported Media Typeor
426 Upgrade Requiredbecause it’s clearly the wrong protocolValid alternatives: 307 temp redirect to mailbox, 402 payment required to endure such pain or the classic 418. I’d go with the 418.
.
What even are you?
I might go with a 403 how dare you!
That’s a good one as well. 406, absolutely not acceptable, Sir!
When you aren’t feeling that async energy but you still get a callback.
I didn’t even register a callback. How the hell did code start randomly executing from here?
That’s a closure
And then in the call you end up discussing what to put in the mail for “awareness”
“Have I done well?”
HTTP status: 200 HTTP data: “{‘status’: ‘error’}”
That’s when you just shake your head and say True, True.
So you return a list of booleans?
“What’s the error message?”
“I don’t know, isn’t that your job to figure out?”
"No sir/ma’am/other honorific
My job is to figure out what the error message means and how to repair it."
Is this why a bunch of us senior engineers have been forced into a product owner role?
Because we can somehow deal with string parsing better? Jesus fuck we’re doomed
