🎧 I slept on the @404mediaco podcast for a long time, assuming an audio version of articles I already read wouldn’t be my jam — but it’s a genuine delight!

(No ads and the extra subscribers-only segment at the end of each episode are a nice little bonus ✨)

I’m 99% certain there’s a name for the data structure that’s represented by a rule-builder UI like this one, but I can’t for the life of me fish it out of my dusty old memory bin.

(I’d even go so far as to bet the word starts with a D or a C, but I can at least say with certainty it does start with a letter!)

Does anyone know the word I’m thinking of? 🤞
