I wouldn't believe it hadn't I seen this with my own eyes.

Interviewing a junior dev.

Literally no words.........

!false

men==women returns false

"False Positive" and "False Negative" errors

Saw this a while back and decided to take a picture of it. Now I'm glad I did. XD

Bring the funny...

Welcome to JavaScript where
Number.isInteger(0.9999999999999999) is false and
Number.isInteger(0.99999999999999999) is true

if (boolean) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

Nothing else to say...

The same goes for clients.

There are two kinds of people:
those who write
if foo.isBar() {
foo.setBar(false)
}
else {
foo.setBar(true)
}

Vs
those who write
foo.setBar(!foo.isBar())

Only good programmers will understand😢😊

public boolean even( int num ) {
if ( num < 0 )
num = -1 * num;
while ( num > 1 )
num = num - 2;
if ( num == 0 )
return true;
else
return false;
}

Code: if(customer.primaryContract)

Boss: "just using a variable as a boolean isn't very readable"

Me:
if(!(!customer.primaryContract != !true).toString() == 'false')

Q : 1 is true and 0 is false. right??
A : 1

This is not false !

[] == []; // false
[] < []; // false
[] > []; // false
[] <= []; // true
[] >= []; // true

When you see a someone write this
if(condition){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

function isTrueOrFalse(s) {
if (s == true) return true
If (s == false) return false
}

If (condition)
return true
else
return false
😂😂😂

!false
It's funny cause it's true 😐

I just encountered this:

switch (boolean) {
case true:
…
break;
case false:
…
break;
}

Wait, what?

int main()
{
bool NeedPoints = true;
int Points = 0;
if (NeedPoints)
{
Points++;
if (Points > 10)
{
CreateAvatar();
NeedPoints = false;
}
}
}

if( !condition ) vs. if(condition == false)

Pointless debate started with readability, turned into heated insults under 30 seconds 😂

Boss: "Can you create a login page where every login fails?"

Me: "Sure thing!"
*Writes out php file that returns false and calls it via AJAX*

Me-

}
if (bool == false)
{

}
/ / / / / / / / /

My friend-
/ / / / / / / / /
bool = !bool;
/ / / / / / / / /

*not a real story*

Q: 0 is false and 1 is true. Right?
A: 1

Typical JS
null > 0 //false
null == 0 //false
null >= 0 //true

Wtf?

!false, it's funny because it's true 😂

if (condition == true && condition != false)

Shit fucking noobs

bool x = false;
bool not_x = x ? false : true;

Fucking pro noob shit!

Just spent like ten minutes searching why my api always returned false.
I forgot, that I am using Java and therefore cant compare strings using equal signs 🤦‍♂️

Refactoring legacy code when...

if _out == True:
r = True
elif _out == False:
r = False

return r

This rant is False.

True | | False

Classmate: "why doesn't it work?"
The code:

if (false) {
return even;
} else {
return odd;
}

bool success = false
if !success {
success = try()
}
if !success {
success = try()
}
if !success {
throw new GiveUpException()
}

#define TRUE false

not the worst by itself, except I keep finding them everywhere

if(thingThatIsTrue == true) {
// omfg
}

or it's inbred cousin

if(!thingThatIsTrue == false) {
//herpa derp
}

Where I work, in our database, we use 3 to indicate true and 7 to indicate false and 0 is true but null is false

In another table, we use 'P' to indicate true and 'I' to indicate false and 'Y' is also false and null is false

And the most used table, we also use 'Y' to indicate yes and 'N' to indicate no, but null is also Yes.

We also store integers as varchar in a live table, but stays an integer in all the other tables. I hope I'm not there when the number of digits exceeds the varchar limit.

These are all live and used in production all created by my boss, the head of IT.

Repost from r/programmerHumor

Me, when read old code:
if z == true
return true
else
return false
Yeah, why not stupid fucker.

Today at work while reading legacy code:

do {
...
} while(false)

Wanna cry and laugh at the same time

The evilest thing to do in a C++ project:

#define TRUE FALSE

Want to piss off the person reviewing your PR?

don't just return true or false use 1 == 1 for true and 1 == 2 for false.

Watch the glorious rage unfolds 🤘🤘🤘

I hope I can code myself like below.

me.Girlfriend = true;
me.Millionare = true;

but, the real case is

me.Girlfriend = false;
me.Millionare = false;

the sadest case is

me.Girlfriend is not defined T.T

if ($id != $product->getId()) {
return false;
}
return false;

What's the point?

I can't stand when people use (SomeBoolean == false) instead of (!SomeBoolean)

Developers who writes something similar

if (count >= 0) { return true; }

else { return false; }

deserves a special room in hell.

Came across a fun one today :
Some JS dev using 'false' and 'true' instead of false and true. 😫

JavaScript question of the day:
Is NaN equal to itself?

NaN === NaN

A. SyntaxError
B. False
C. True
D. NaN

Why can't Python have a switch case statement???

Also what's with the capitals in True/False?

False Hope 😑

There doesn't exist such a thing as perfect code.

I have previously seen this in a production code base. The same code base included nested if statements (20+ conditions)...

If (condition == false) {
return false;
} else if (condition == true) {
return true;
}

const true = false; 🤔
(from r/ProgrammerHumor)

when your co-worker instead of commenting a piece of old code wraps it in:

if (false) {
...
}

Took me 2 hours to figure out why my changes weren't working.

Being told that real life experience < school degree.

You couldn't possibly be more fucking wrong.

> 0.5 + 0.1 == 0.6

Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you?

bool DDD = true;

The moment you realize your time assessment was wrong again.

Do ya ever hate how often people use the term "AI" so loosely. It's like saying your thermostat or your "smart oven" (or "smart"-everything) is "AI-infused" because it can regulate the temperature. Unless the machine actually learns something for next time around, a bunch of "if" statements isn't truly AI in my book.

devRant taught me that most dev stereotypes are true...and false :))

OSC, or open sound protocol, does not have a Boolean type. instead, the Boolean true has type true and the Boolean false has type false.
what.
well.
at least the problem wasn't in my code?

boolean must be true || false || perhaps || schrödinger

Why the opposite of 'true' is 'false'? why not 'eurt'?

Lets play a game of spot the bug...

Too easy you say?
What if I told you that this code was written by a well paid dev over an exceptionally large period of time?

Crazy huh, but that's still nothing. The most ludicrous thing about it - is that you (like me) probably suffer from a mild case of impostor syndrome.

I just ended that suffering. The only thing worse than impostor syndrome is believing you actually know what the fuck your doing. Keep it in check but learn to love it... it's probably the reason you could spot the bug after all.

if (condition){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

This is hilarious

Just JavaScript things:
alert(typeof NaN); //alerts 'Number' alert(NaN === NaN); //evaluates false
What else would you expect?

When you search for this error during 3 hours

if (false);
{
printf("why u right ?");
}

And it was just the first lines comma

JavaScript:
NaN === NaN // false
Typeof NaN === 'number' // true

Think of something more retarded than this:

boolean name = (getBoolean()) ? true : false;

didn't anyone go for the "#define true false" joke? i didn't actually see it in action, but it would be a pretty harsh one.

Expect the unexpected (false) 😂

#define TRUE FALSE

happy debugging! ! 😈😈😈

PSA: negate your tests and make sure they fail!

I have what I thought was a weird and slightly paranoid habit. When I write tests sometimes just as a sanity check negate the assertion to make sure the test fails and isn't a false positive. Almost always fails as expected.

But not today! Turns out I had forgotten to wrap my equality check in an assertion so it would always pass. It freaks me out to imagine pushing a test that always passes not just because it doesn't do its job, but could also obscure a bug and trick me into thinking it works differently than it does. Broken tests are the worst!

But it pays to be paranoid.

I wrote this code last month...

def func(is_admin, user):
is_admin = is_admin or False
user = user # so pro much wow
return is_admin ^ user

return false;

I’m so done of getting false errors in Visual Studio

I'm surprised management allows us to write false positive tests just to have high coverage instead of refactoring it first. Time to abandon ship.

My man said "What should I return if the True/False field is left blank?"

WHY WOULD A BOOLEAN BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN TRUE OR FALSE???!!!

I'm gonna have an aneurysm. I shouldn't be educating people on best practices for something that's already been written about time and time again. RESTful philosophy has been documented so much, and all it takes is a quick google search, but noooo! I have to take time out of my day as if I'm a regular old stakeholder to explain that I want the exact thing that I sent in an email two weeks ago. Amazing.

Came across a method in the code base that returns a boolean.

It uses a ternary operator which returns true if the result is true and false.. you guessed it... if the result is false.

WHY NOT JUST RETURN THE FUCKING RESULT!!!

What. The. F#%#....

Everybody relax! False alarm! The website wasn't down, I was still connected to the VPN.

JS be like:

0 == "0" | true
0 == [] |true

ok... so "0" equals []?

"0" == [] | FALSE

When a condition is true and false at the same time...

var_dump(0 == "x"); // true
var_dump(!0 == " x"); // true

WTF?!

I started using the === more often...

When someone defines a Bool3 type in swift to represent true, false and undefined. Even tho swift already has Optionals as a first class feature. 😳

I tried this on tinder. She was confused and proceeded to un-match me. A !false statement would be to say that I’ve failed at life. 😉

at least this crap wasn't used anywhere in the code base

looking at this resumee. not sure if i want to buy it 🤔

Found this in production code.

For those who doesn’t understand Delphi:
switch (some boolean) {
case false:

Intern: "Is the keyword to allow nullable 'null=True' "
No. It's farnswaggle=False.

Let me tell you a joke: !false

I just leave it there.

public enum FileType {
True, False
}

tfw a true/false field in the database is set to char instead of boolean.

return ((variable == 1) ? true : false)

Did you hear the one about !false It's funny coz it's true.

This is so TRUE!

Or is it FALSE?

Happy Halloween!

When a programmer plays truth or false, you know he/she will always say true.

javaScript:

0 == "0" // true
0 // false
"0" // true

o.0

True or False?
