“The Pragmatic Programmer” refers to this idea as “select() is broken.”
- rkachowski 9y agoit's a small typo but changes the meaning completely, it's - Select _"isn't"_ broken
- krallja 9y agoYou are right that the other way is more prominent, but both phrases appear in the book; for example, “We now use the phrase "select is broken" as a gentle reminder whenever one of us starts blaming the system for a fault that is likely to be our own.” That quote appears right above «Tip 26: “select” isn’t broken.»
