Developers working with functional programming languages typically take discriminated unions for granted, using them extensively during their work. In contrast, developers using object-oriented languages such as C# are often introduced to Result types as another programming pattern that can be used instead of exceptions. ...

Developers like to pretend we write code with precision and intention. Reality check: half of software engineering is fixing things caused by our own mistakes. For years, my most frequent typo has been typing cocker instead of docker. At first I shrugged it off. Then I started getting irrationally angry about it.
