A lot of people need to process this prior: If X is true, P(X)->1 as you investigate. If X is false, P(X)->0 as you investigate. If P(X)=0.5 for nearly 7 years straight, then someone is pulling your leg.

One thing that’s annoying about being a software engineer is that you’re surrounded by people who have strong opinions about the stupidest possible stuff that couldn’t possibly ever matter even a little bit. This is your whole career. It’s just arguments like this one over and over and over and over again and they literally never matter. The years roll into decades and nobody ever stops talking about this stuff and it didn’t matter in 1980 and it didn’t matter in 1990 and it didn’t matter in 2010 and it doesn’t matter today.

Problematic when using auto generated code from an API model, or something like Lombok. Often a Boolean can be prefixed with “is” automatically, then you end up with isIsEnabled

I am here to say that in 99.9% of use cases no one cares how fast your code is, they care if it works in an intuitive way or not
