     @Inginsub Methods? I don't have those in GNU C (that's a good thing).

     @Inginsub Did you find out why, he is suggesting such a thing xD ?
     
     Makes me wonder how he is storing pre-computed binary choices 🤔

     @hazlin @Inginsub the video reacts to dogmatic linkedin clean code BS about boolean blindness as uncle bob put it, making a typed enum instead making another person figure out what the true/false means in every single function call

     @i @Inginsub
     At the function input definition? Sort of feel like the input variable name should clue the programmer into what it does.

     @Inginsub Real Men use enums.
     
     typedef enum boolean { TRUE, FALSE };

     @RustyCrab @Inginsub @hazlin

     But what if it is

     doTheThing(1, 9, 8, 4)
     ?
     WHAT THEN ENUM MAN?

     @Inginsub @hazlin
     Uncle Bob recommended something like that IIRC.

     Because bools are named true and false and that could confuse particular individuals.

     So he advised to always use enums.

     Lamp state = true/false
     vs
     Lamp state = on/off

     It's one of those micro optimizations to readability that only academia could have come up with.

     @inertia @Inginsub @hazlin this is only really useful when you have functions like doTheThing(true,false,false,true,true) <--- (shockingly common)
