Dogs previously held in quarantine can now be released.

Because the chicken behind it wasn't wearing a mask or socially distancing.

The real question is did the egg beat the chicken across or not, thus answering the age old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

That's easy to solve: just order one of each from Amazon ...

With my luck they'd arrive in the same box.

That's easy. You've heard of beaten eggs, but not beaten chickens; so the chicken must have got there first.

Reminds me of the last time I left the house with "no key" and didn't know when the other half would be back. That's the problem when you have a house key and a car key, and they're different.

If your house key and your car key are the same, you might be a redneck.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

"Fallacy" is a better term for it.
The job I had before the one I have now used a home-grown "Rule-Based" system, which was interesting enough, but...
Rules had to return results as strings. 
If there was no existing rule to do what you needed, you had to implement one... in VB.net .
What I found most interesting about the system was that rules were versioned and stored as DLLs in a database.

Ingenious! No one else would've thought of doing that*.

We have a SQL Server-based rules engine where I'm working. I don't know much about it, but it's all SQL, and apparently hugely complex.

My company was already using Mendix before I started and it is powerful enough to run businesses. I see lots of developers make fun of low-code/no-code but it should be taken seriously. It is powerful.

Most definitely. As long as your problems fit within the realm of its capabilities it can usually do everything you need it to do. Those boundary cases can be dicey though. I worked with this type of system and it was a constant battle of extending its capabilities, through code of course. Eventually it was realized the system was pointless because it really didn't serve the end goal. I had seen this in the beginning but I was ignored.

100% true, but still true with any framework you use including .Net.
I have added API calls and all kinds of complex stuff in the mendix app. So far, it can handle anything this business has needed.

My last job was at a major Army hospital, and they adopted both Qlikview and Tableau. I remember the demos for them were flashy and impressive. However, under the weight of the amount of data we had, both products folded like cheap suits, and working with them was a freakin nightmare.
The products were purchased because of the promise of low/no code (ostensibly to reduce costs because they could eliminate programmers, which was a weird thought, because they had dev licenses for people that modified the code), but that backfired on them. Not only did they have to keep us programmers on staff,they had the additional cost of hardware infrastructure and the sys admins to maintain said hardware (it was a full-time job for at least two people).
The cost-saving idea was also hilariously over-estimated. The software licensing cost more than all of the developers salaries, combined.
I am not impressed with said systems.
