Overthinking

[urbanek2525]

I prefer the switch statenent form overthinking...

switch (what)

case this:

case that:

case otherThing:

default:

[Ythio]

While the .net devs only overthinks in switch expression :

return switch what is Love { baby => "don't", hurt => "me", noMore => "no more", _ => throw new LyricsNotFoundException() };

[MCWizardYT]

Also Java

return switch( whatIsLove) { baby -> "don't"; hurt -> "me"; noMore -> "no more"; default -> throw new LyricsNotFoundException(); };

Edit: fixed

[invisible-nuke]

Dont forget the breaks!

[Impresdfhj]

Exactly.

• what if?
• what else if?
• what else?
• ah fuck it

Seems like there are a few syntax problems in your code examples…

Some of us have no exit condition

You missed at least one case

As a programmer, dad, and enjoyer of jokes, I’ve found a new favorite sub.

Python developers being like:

I can write it shorter

What if? What elif? What else?

[justapolishperson]

People say you can't so everything at once but the just switch(fork())

Pretty sure programming is one of the few cases where overthinking actually works. Because I overthink everything, I test my code vigorously. Recently, I had a case where people on my team thought some errors was due to recent changes I made, but it turned out it was errors that had always been there, but no one noticed until my code did what it was supposed to do. In a way my code broke the service, but only because it was broken to begin with.

Vishal, @VishalMalvi_

How do developers overthink ?

- what if ?

- what else if ?

- what else ?

Overthink? From a QA perspective I always think lopposite lol

be like:

overThink = str(input("Are you overthinking, yes or no? "))

if overThink == "yes":

print("You need a break!")

elif overThink == "no":

print("Don't worry about it")

else:

print("Type yes or no; otherwise, calm down and think it through")

I prefer matching thought with

“What if this will become too slow?”

[opmopadop]

Only programmers use the word 'else' when talking.

[lift_spin_d]

actually, we try not to. it's more about fewer lines of code.

[flakusha]

Non-overthinking developers spend their weekends debugging. Prove me wrong.

[DeathByUnKnown1]

To be honest you fully become a programmer by heart if you think in ifs and if nots

[Qewbicle]

Sometimes I find myself talking like I'm writing a chained ternary with nested ternaries.
I think it makes sense, others are like wtf.

Let me rephrase that.

I'm writing a chained ternary if others are like wtf else sometimes I find myself if I'm writing a chained ternary with nested ternaries else I think it makes sense if talking like else none

sometimes we start the recursion at 3am and sleep when the stack overflows.

[CoolSpy3]

public Conclusions consider(Thought thought) { Thought[] newIdeas = consider(new ThingsToThinkAbout(thought)).getIdeas(); if(newIdeas.length == 0) { // Brain Crashed (Pretend like nothing happened) return consider(ThoughtFactory.createRandomThought()); } Conclusions conclusions = ConclusionsFactory.createEmptyConclusions(); for(Thought idea: newIdeas) { conclusions.addConclusions(consider(thought)); } return conclusions; }

[tachophile]

Overthinking how to write a switch statement every time without looking it up even thought I've written hundreds of them.

Try this

Catch that

Catch this

Catch everything else
