Truthiness

As a software developer, I actually use "truthy" and "falsy" pretty regularly for "the computer thinks this value is true/false"

Just remember that even though None is Falsy, an array of Nones is Truthy. Gets me every time. I fucking understand it logically (because the array itself exists) but damnit if I can make my lizard brain comprehend it while coding it.

because the array itself exists

More specifically it's because the array isn't empty.

Yup you’re more right than I was. An empty array is still Falsy even though it exists. I accept the correction.
