If it helps, I'm from the other side of networking and infra. You could swap the labels and make the meme accurate for me.

In the mid 1980s I learn the BASIC programming command GOTO and fell in love for a lifetime. If you look any anything I used to write in Ruby script or today in Python you'll see my love affair with "if" "elfi" and "else" continues. My universe is nested "if" statements all the way down.

    If you like if statements, you'll love the python case statements for pattern matching

    Ohhh nice! I could see replacing dozens of nested if statements with dozens of nested case statements!

    Also don't nest case statements. Please.

    I remember one of the hardest transitions for me from scripting in Ruby to Python was the whitespace indent was larger by default in Python. With Python, I ran out of monitor width and would have to be constantly scrolling right and left when visually parsing the code because the nested loops were so deep.
