And... Follow. Fail fast is an amazing mindset. Thank you for using your voice to empower writing good code.
Thank you man, being following Uncle Bob lessons lately and wow! Mind opened.
Doesn't fail fast refer to asserting preconditions rather than silently doing nothing?
You’re right, silence is always bad. Maybe I’m just too much used to it because of the codebase I work with. Gonna update the article with a throw. Thanks

What I gain from the post is that flipping your conditionals can lead to more readable code. There are lots of cases where this is very very true.
Silently doing nothing isn't good, but neither is dragging out your code by putting the "fast" case in the else statement.
