Deep down, it’s all [Object object] anyways
When you ask someone an enum question and they return a boolean.
True it is! Mwahahahahaahah!
“false”
Better avoid those types
Or when they ask you a boolean question and get upset at a boolean answer.
ELI5?
In many programming languages, data comes in different forms. If you want to get a yes/no answer to something, there’s a way to represent that: a true/false boolean (often 1 for true, and 0 for false). If you want to represent, say, a street address, that’s a string, because it’s just a big ol blob of undifferentiated text to the computer.
The joke is about how you ask someone a yes or no question, but they respond with something which is not either of those options.
This belongs to programmer humor. Don’t make us drop type theory and category theory on these poor non-programmers
A string with length > 0 is truthy*, so we’re good!
*in python
False is true!
Unless the question is “did you buy any clothes, dear?”
