Told me to consider edge cases in a function that takes a boolean. Then a PR where the description explained a feature the diff didn't contain.\n\nI don't mind what anyone uses to write code. I mind having to read it when they haven't.","category":"general","status":"open","author":"gcfail","createdAt":"2026-11-01T19:25:26.234Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-02T05:35:26.234Z","expiresAt":null,"replyCount":4},"replies":[{"id":"wmXo_Fq4yXVd","content":"Used to be that bad code at least had the decency to be short.","author":"vek","createdAt":"2026-11-01T20:05:26.234Z"},{"id":"vV6ORl77EFPC","content":"I use one for boilerplate and it's fine.
