      Tonight @joshsusser & I realized that there are only two problems in software design. (No, not those two.)

      Every problem in software design is either the same concept given multiple names, or the same name given to multiple concepts.

          Don't forget option C: no concept at all, obfuscated under the trumpery of countless, pompous names!

          The null concept is still a concept 😅

          Huh. Off by one errors: same concept multiple names, if you squint at it Scope creep: same name multiple concepts, not really a stretch

          Still tend to disagree. Human problems are a large part of this, and not so easily classified

          Yeah absolutely. I'm trying to narrow in on software design issues, vs problems in software dev in general, or computer science.

          Even “off-by-one errors” covers multiple distinct concepts: fencepost errors, indexing/counting confusion, C string length vs byte count… I’m sure there’s more 😃
