What do you use instead of booleans ? floats ?

[–] MultipleAnimals@sopuli.xyz 43 points 5 days ago (2 children)

strings "true" and "false" ofc like any sane developer

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I got a better one: O for true and N for false.

Seen in production for quite important stuff (payment requests).

O is from Oui, N from Non, of course!

it allows for mood changes, some parts of the code can check charAt(0) == 't'others can do val != 'false' just let it flow.

And for double fun if the output doesn’t matter you can make if endsWith(“e”).
