Nested-ternary Memes

Nothing says "I hate my coworkers" quite like nesting 20 ternary operators deep. You're sitting there doing code review, squinting at the screen like Tony Stark trying to decode alien technology, except instead of saving the universe you're just trying to figure out if this function returns true, false, or summons a demon. And of course the commits are cosigned by Claude. Because naturally, when you ask an AI to write "clean code," it interprets that as "make it technically work but emotionally devastating." Junior devs and AI assistants share one beautiful trait: they both discovered ternary operators exist and decided to make it everyone else's problem. Pro tip: if your ternary needs a scroll bar, it's not clever—it's a cry for help. Just use an if statement like a normal person. Your future self will thank you.
