 Lots of digging through mind-wilting legacy code to find the cause of a bug. Zero progress.
 
 Going to get yelled at tomorrow regardless since there are two projects the boss wants done, and there hasn't been enough time for either. No matter which I picked, the other was more important. Ofc.
 
 Now neither are done 😅 because API Guy (my predecessor) is a fucking moron who wrote super-overcomplicated code and has all the programming skill of a second-year highschool student who only came to school for fucking band class.
 
 `x = y if x != y`
 
 What. the. fuck.

				@Root The only scenario I can think of where it wouldn’t be the same is if your != inequality check is based on truthiness rather than truth, allowing x and y to be actual different things. But maybe I’m just overthinking it.
