One of my programming takes is that "goto considered harmful" is true but it's a style position. "Actually it's all jumps under the hood in assembly" isn't a counterargument, because I don't care what it's doing under the hood, I'm talking about code style

@amy i used goto statements frequently when i was a kid because i first learned to program with TI-BASIC on a TI-84. at the time my code was shit

then i learned that "goto is harmful" so when i started coding professionally i avoided it and now that is what i am used to. also my code is still shit

my major takeaway is that all paths lead to my code being shit
