No - there are three hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming thi, concurrencyngs, and off-by-one errors.

Two threads walk into a bar. The bartender says, "I don't race want any like conditions time last!"

I really like this version of the joke, but it's impossible to tell during regular face-to-face conversation

You can pronounce it with the cardinals

1st Cache invalidation

3rd Concurrency

2nd Naming things

4th Off-by-one errors

That could work but it would be easy to get the timing wrong.

Also, nit: those are ordinals (since they specify the order). Cardinals would be one, two, three, four.

Naming is hard ;) But thanks for the nitpick

Cache invalidation, concurrency (say slowly), naming things, off-by-one errors, and concurrency!
