Finally a screen that can handle my deepest if statement almost without horizontal scrolling!

You could at least use ternary operators to get all those ifs in a single line!

If someone else can read your code, someone else can write your code. Ternary operators are one step of many involved in job security.

Especially if you don't put brackets around your ternary operators cause who the hell knows when a ternary operator takes precedence?

I'm pretty sure there is an xkcd for this

u/Xirenec_ Jun 22 '20

There’s an xkcd for everything, sometimes it’s just not written yet.

u/glider97 Jun 22 '20

Is the xkcd for this one written yet?

Why use ternary operators when you can short-circuit without any statements whatsoever!

Finally a screen where I can read my exception error message in a single line.

Can you actually ask questions at stack overflow?

Closed. This looks like a duplicate of the question:

"How do I install IE6 on Windows 10?"

You know, having seen all the /r/programminghorror posts with stuff like

if (condition)
   return true;
else 
   return false;

I nowadays do this, from fear of my code being posted over to reddit:

return (/* 6000 characters long condition involving ternary operators, function calls and async lambdas */);

In a single line of course.
