A curated awesome-list of articles cataloging 'falsehoods programmers believe in' - common wrong assumptions about domains like dates, names, addresses, phone numbers, and currencies. It serves as a reference to help developers avoid naive validation and data-modeling mistakes.
Use cases
- find edge cases to consider when validating user input
- learn why assumptions about names and addresses break
- prepare checklist for internationalization pitfalls
- avoid naive date and timezone handling bugs
- research common myths before designing a data model
- find reading material on programmer misconceptions
When to choose
- you want a curated index of falsehood articles across many domains
- you are designing validation or data models involving names, addresses, dates, or currencies
- you need educational material on internationalization and edge cases
When to avoid
- you need executable code or a library to solve a specific validation problem
- you want a tutorial with step-by-step instructions rather than a link list
