The two hardest problems in programming:

(1) cache invalidation

(3) off-by-one errors

(2) appropriately naming things

(4) parallel execution [leading to race conditions / ordering bugs]

I think you win a bad in-joke award - the first annual Turing-Dad joke award.

Minor quibble, it should be the three hardest problems.

It should be, but the increments were run in parallel on nonvolatile memory.

The two hardest problems in computer science are:

1) Naming 3) Cache Invalidation 2) Off-by-one errors 3) In-order once-only delivery of distributed messages

And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope

1) naming

4) concurr2) cache invalidation

ency

3) off-by-one errors

(5) feature creep
