Boolean Yes

Just your typical programmer wordplay that makes non-technical people stare blankly while we chuckle at our keyboards. "Boo" + "lean" = "Boolean". It's the same ghost, just tilted 45 degrees and suddenly it's a fundamental data type that can only be true or false. Much like my relationship with debugging - either I'm fixing bugs or contemplating a career change. No in-between.

My Tragic Backstory

The career path of a developer who started by hacking game ROMs is like finding out your coworker used to be in a cult. Normal devs learned Python in high school, but the ROM hackers were out there reverse-engineering assembly code at age 12 just to make Mario wear a cowboy hat. Now they're sitting next to you debugging TypeScript with thousand-yard stares, permanently damaged by their formative years of hex editing and wondering why modern languages have so many "unnecessary features" like memory management.
