At this point I think there is no software dev topic that is somehow not devisive.

Now I want to try something:

"Boolean variables don't suck."

No one uses Boolean values anyway and with the amount of resources available on modern systems we can just replace them with integers and we should be fine. This also makes it easier to teach people, as they would learn less different data types.

Yes I'm a software dev :)
