callout: gargron uses `unless` statements in his code

Follow

@Gargron my ruby prof told me not to use them :P i think they're cute

@Gargron see i agree that "unless foo" is more readable but when i said that everyone in the room glared at me and it derailed the entire class w nerdboys dogpiling on the girl to tell her why she's wrong and should use if !foo isntead

@Gargron that wasn't really true at my liberal arts college, which was essentially a professor reading us the documentation from rubyonrails.org on a projector and telling us to have a functioning website by the end of the semester.

@Gargron computer science classes at my alma mater which kinda more like "opportunities to get credit for something you were gonna self-teach anyway"

@Gargron from what i've heard, german universities and american liberal arts colleges are Pretty Different in general

for instance, i majored in "conflict resolution" (social psychology and linguistics) and built a website in jekyll as my senior thesis. cuz that's Totally The Same Field
