seeing the word "salesforce" has honestly brought up some awful memories for me, and i say that as someone who had to use it, not anyone who understands the evil that lurks inside of it. with all due respect i will permanently bow out of this thread. i like to follow along and learn something but i don't know want to learn things like this anymore

And Christe receive thy saule.

I've got a (new) name for an old anti-pattern for you: Exponential Edge Case Explosion.

Refactoring: why is it so bad and hated?

its funny cause its actually the best but no one has time 4 that

Forward by Robert C. Martin!

yes but it's good

Lol!
