minus-squarezero@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up26·11 months agoAs a software developer, I actually use “truthy” and “falsy” pretty regularly for “the computer thinks this value is true/false”
minus-squaremodel_tar_gz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoJust remember that even though None is Falsy, an array of Nones is Truthy. Gets me every time. I fucking understand it logically (because the array itself exists) but damnit if I can make my lizard brain comprehend it while coding it.
