Reading this over and over to make me learn a moral of the story is be very careful of what you say to Junior programmers. They take things literally like writing a PHP IF statement in a twig template.
In fact, be very careful of what you say to any programmer. Like "Honey, go to the shop and buy eggs. If you see milk, get a dozen." 🤦♂️ -
@agentQ In your sentence, I'd buy any number of eggs (probably 2) and a dozen of Milk. Subjects are the fallback parameters.
You just have to state things correctly...
Had this with a junior:
J: Can you help me quickly?
M: Yeah, what’s up?
J: I don’t know how to make this thing work in twig (tpl engine, like jinja2)
M: hmm, you need to write if condition and it should work
J: yeah, but how do I do that in twig?
M: just write if condition in brackets, like you would in php
J: *writes: ‘{{ <?php if...’*
M: *screaming* No!!!
...
This guy, he freaked out, like literally jumped up and then had this look for the rest of the day, like he’s gonna kill me.
