Instead of the last quote in the article, I prefer this one (got it from [0])

>"There are two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors." – Martin Fowler

And there's plenty of similar articles, for example [1] [2]

Even in this version, the quote still feels incomplete without someone shouting "Concurrency!" while it is delivered...

Concurrency.""There are three hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, off-by-one errors, and

Thanks for similar articles. I am aware of similar articles and that's why I have kept it short and simple. I will add these as references, later.

I have enjoyed reading Python Tricks[0] book by Dan bader (author of https://dbader.org/blog/python-memoization ). It's awesome. Might be outdated but I still recommend it to any body who has just started learning python.

Hey, sorry if my post came off wrongly. In hindsight, I should've worded better, something like "similar articles for further reading".

That attribution is wrong - the mediawiki page links to Martin Fowler’s collection of quotes, where he says the off-by-one version came from Leon Bambrick https://twitter.com/secretgeek/status/7269997868?s=21

thanks for the correction, I cannot edit the post though :(
