Lensflare2131442d@CaptainRant I‘m sorry to disappoint you, and I don’t mean it sarcastically but you most probably won’t need to do truth tables in your dev job.
Unless you do embedded stuff but probably not even then. -
12bitfloat1081742d@Lensflare Maybe if you're doing *really* low level hardware design you need to optimize truth tables.
But that's really all I can come up with lol -
CaptainRant483642d@Lensflare I had to use it for a client in the sense of:
- send an e-mail to the client in a template format where client wants x and y in the heading, a and b in the body, c and d in the footer, but not e and f, and if an image is present, then... etc. It can get convoluted. I was obliged to write it in Java. lmao -
Lensflare2131442d@CaptainRant In that case I don’t know how truth tables would be helpful.
I‘d write properly named functions, compose those into the complicated checks and write unit tests to make sure the logic is correct. -
CaptainRant483641d@Lensflare I diiid. : D Their codebase had zero tests... lmao. No testing whatsoever. -
whimsical174335d@CaptainRant that's actually cool, become the guy introducing it and sell it as software that guarantees quality. It's an opertunity. No tests, I assume also no CI/CD then?

I really hate truth tables. It feels like I'm cracking a safe like in the movie Army of Thieves, especially when I am given a complex Test Suite. lol. It's like I have to make all levers work in unison and none can fail.. kind of like The Semiconductor ASML machine. Not that bad, but still.
