This is how one of our junior devs solved a merge conflict

    Ok I think we can tell if this key is set already 😫

    Why || many times on the same param?

    And why not return isset...etc.?

    Well we all started somewhere ...

    /*slow clap*/

    Probably would have worked just fine if *only* they checked to see if $query['pt'] was set another couple of times.

    After 6 months he'll read that snippet and say "Oh my God, I can fix it!"

    nChecksToBeReallySure = 1000
    ret = False
    for i in range(nChecksToBeReallySure)
    ret = ret || bool(math.sin(isSet(...) * math.pi / 2))

    if ret:
    return True
    else:
    return not True

    @SortaBubbly I don’t think any of us started here, lol.

    Let’s not ignore the atrocious and misspelled function name.

    Did I miss the stage where I was a Jr dev? cuz I've never written code like that...

    @billgates even as a Jnr you should know that the first isset() is the only one ever to be evaluated if it returns true for this conditional.

    So unless somehow you manage to have $query[‘pt’] be false, false, false, false,false, and then true without modifying it within the condition it’s useless and you really have done something beyond remarkable.

    Ask your junior to explain what the code does line by line.. Slowly..
