Comment on A curated list of falsehoods programmers believe

Comments

I would love an annotated falsehoods. For instance, one of the falsehoods programmers believe about programming:

Most processors in active use are 32-bit or larger.

16-bit or larger?

8-bit or larger?

OH COME ON!

It is interesting to think that there are smaller than 8-bit processors around, but I think the author might have forgotten that they started the section with "most processors are..."

Don't leave us hanging! What is the <8-bit processor in common-enough use to not fit into (1 - Most)?

That's my question! We need a falsehoods explained page
