i've worked places where that is the official (and unofficial) style for some languages.
return immediately for errors, don't if around them; don't nest ifs.

Write better code and don't litter your functions with return statements

I "love" articles which preach writing more readable code and then illustrate it with extremely unreadable code which is hard to debug.

Back in May I blogged about the C# 9.0 plans, and the following is an updated version of that post to match what we actually ended up shipping. "Number nine, number nine, number nine..."
However did I manage to not include this one yesterday?

New declarative programming languages like HCL and Polar might just be the perfect way to boost productivity with IaC. If everything is code, nothing is code?

What the heck is IaC?
Oh wait - I finally got it. Infrastructure as Code.
What the heck does that even mean?
Infrastructure: "the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities (e.g. buildings, roads, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise."
And that translates to software development how?
According to wikipedia: Infrastructure as code (IaC) is the process of managing and provisioning computer data centers through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools.
So, IaC is a fancy term for lookup tables.

If only we had state of the art constructive abilities... But people wouldn't be able to make money off of that. Maybe we deserve SkyNet.

 People can't make money off of constructing things?
I think Apple and Tesla would disagree.

Sorry. I was trying to imply that it seems all of our 'construction' leads to ways to kill people. We seem to revel in it.

A cryptographic master tool called indistinguishability obfuscation has for years seemed too good to be true. Three researchers have figured out that it can work. "Eschew obfuscation"
Of course, "While the protocol is far from ready to be deployed in real-world applications, from a theoretical standpoint it provides an instant way to build an array of cryptographic tools that were previously out of reach.", so gritty details to follow.

We need to learn how to effectively use multi-paradigm languages that support functional, object oriented, and procedural paradigms. "It's a feature of new paradigms that pitchforks come out with new paradigms."
