# Awesome Falsehood [](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)
|
||
|
||
A curated list of awesome falsehoods programmers believe in.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Motivation
|
||
|
||
TODO: explain why this list is aweseome.
|
||
|
||
You want to solve all problem of the world? Not so fast. There's a huge
|
||
dicrepency between the world you picture in your head and the reality. The
|
||
world is much more complicated, full of edge cases and inconsitencies.
|
||
|
||
Because of war, love, law,
|
||
|
||
dispelled myth
|
||
|
||
and/or expose how a a business domain or a particular familiar concept is much
|
||
more intricate and complex than expected.
|
||
|
||
When possible, we provide a list of libraries or module that may solve, or try
|
||
to, the complexities and idiosyncracies of the pointed domain.
