I prefer the saying "There are two hard things in computer science; cache invalidation, naming things, and off by one errors."

[@bienadam]

Yes, but it is not the original version: www.karlton.org/2017/12/naming-things-hard/ Thanks for watching!

[@GeraldOSullivan]

@@bienadam It's not the original version. It's a joke. "Off by one errors" Geddit? No? /*sigh*/
But still, I love the var var!

[@bienadam]

@@GeraldOSullivan It was a semi joke coined by Phil Karlton. In the first version there was no mention of "Off by one errors." But I like the "extended" version better. Hopefully I got you :-)

OK, you got me :))

[@georgetsiklauri]

I loved this mock. Thanks, Adam, well done. I would actually negate this to "never use "var" for anything in Java".

[@tobyzieglerrr]

Nice. Happy Aprils fools day to everyone 🎉

[@bienadam]

This beautiful pattern will also work perfectly in May! 🙂

[@ebuzertahakanat]

i was this close to correct him not realizing it is an april fools joke

[@bienadam]

Correcting me? Then I would vote your comment down :-)

[@FiveNineO]

That's beautiful, very clean 👍

[@bienadam]

+1 Now I can start to ask: why you are still using Kotlin and not Java?

[@marcinkwapisz7752]

I forgot about Fools Day. But I have better example of interesting naming in Java. Try this:
int Integer = 7;
Integer Float = 9;
System.out.println(Integer);
System.out.println(Float);
System.out.println(Float.MAX_VALUE);

[@mikekachaluba2321]

This is a horrible joke You got me 😂

[@bienadam]

It is a compilable joke! :-) Thanks for watching!

[@Apuntesdejava]

everything is very clear. How come I did not think of it before!😅😅

[@bienadam]

...because you didn't meditated long enough :-)

It's absolutely sufficient to watch this video only once :-) Thanks for watching this video multiple times! :-)

Cooking this code in the afternoon it should be a int with the value of 418 instead of a string being returned.
