The second issue was too blatant, I knew I was getting the old 4chan bait and switch

“Don’t complain, just fork it” people when complaining works: 😳

Ooh that’s a good roll, idk if I can beat that… unless you’re bluffing

Nine fives

Definitely. I’ve seen this advice summarized as “Comment ‘why’, not ‘how’” and it’s always helpful to come back to weird code and immediately understand these things.

Fascinating

I’ve had to use vim once or twice. It’s… fine. Not really my thing. I’m a nano guy (or, ideally, VS Code).

Dear lord lmao

lmfao

I haven’t seen him do it lately in any code I’ve reviewed but I do change it whenever I see it if I’m doing work nearby lol

It can work or it can look good, you can’t have both

One of my coworkers is fond of using ternary expressions instead of “if” blocks. Even ones without an “else”. So I see things like:

condition ? someVar = "blah" : null;

or

condition ? doSomething() : null

Which should both just use “if” statements. Or my favorite:

condition ? someVar = "foo" : someVar = "bar"

which should really be

someVar = condition ? "foo" : "bar"

Yup there are certain patterns that I can just tell

I love that they called it “blame” lol. They knew what it would be used for.
