minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink25•11 months agoAs a software developer, I actually use “truthy” and “falsy” pretty regularly for “the computer thinks this value is true/false”
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•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.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•11 months ago because the array itself exists More specifically it’s because the array isn’t empty.

Truthiness
