You should probably go to bed now. That next line can wait until tomorrow!

yea, but i'd miss `;` by then

Haven't gotten anything done today.
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.

“Ignore x’s actual value and just make it the same value as y”?

@AmyShackles
"set x to y unless x is already y"

Absolutely identical to
`x = y`

@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.

It's 9AM, but I'll gladly go to sleep.
