I have no words...

Are you sure? Are you really sure?

This was in a PR to go to our staging environment

@TheGeekyGuy can't that be done like

if($is_today)

?

To be, or not to be...

I dont know if id shoot myself or the original author

Hey, gotta check shit like that. It might be the third option!

Well that if statement has a few nested if statements... i have given up on fixing the users shit code (our site was outsourced) and we are rebuilding the whole thing in house now... so accept and move on :) not my problem

xD maybe, just maybe, it's all about the code style. Think about it, the code speaks louder than comments, so instead of removing the if statement and putting a comment like "// I don't care if it is_today or not" and author decides to make the code rhyme.

Next up:
if (toBe || !toBe) {}
if (isFuture || isPast) {}
if (yes && !no || definitelyYes || maybeOnlyThisTime) {}

Perhaps someone was trying to convey that it also works as for tomorrow, but didn't realize their boolean algebra skills were sufficient enough?

They forgot to test first is/is not today

developer probably just wanted to say that any day is good :)

I hope the statement is
eat_pizza =true;

@C-Info i just had the same thought and realized that logically "if(to_be || !to_be)" isn't really a question after all, right?

OH GOD IT BURNS

@vortex everyone wants to eat pizza

@aikone I'm about to get myself some pizza...

@Aalhex cool, eat_pizza = true for you then 😂

@aikone That would on the other hand be null for you since you don't seem to having stocked up on pizza. 😄

@Aalhex yeah, no money, no pizza + NPE 😭

Make sure u explicitly check that pizza is null... we are in php land here.. false could also be null... oh and 0 could be too! Its a mine field out there

Laziness in programming at its finest :)

if (true || false) { ... } else { /* ??? */ }
