Do you remember when you used to write C code? (yes, back in the 80's) More specifically the difference between
int aVar = 100;
and
const int aVar =100;
Something (thunder)struck me today: life's quite similar to a C program. After spending decades worrying about all RealLife™ variables around me, trying to change them, now I've reached an age when things became crystal clear:
DO NOT WAIST TIME WORRYING ABOUT CONSTANTS (they will out-live you)
Trying to change a CONST variable in everyday life will invariably give you the following error:
gcc life compiler error: line xx, assignment attempt of read-only variable 'aVar'
So the only hope resides in changing non const variables, so focus only on them, the hell with const.
Free tip: Assholes are undoubtedly const variables ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
