String manipulation Memes

Ah, the classic "let me check every possible capitalization pattern" approach! This developer is manually checking for true , True , TRue , TRUe and then the same for false variants instead of just using toLowerCase() once and comparing to a standard value. The function even returns maybe if neither pattern matches, which is both hilarious and terrifying for Boolean logic. Somewhere, a computer science professor is feeling a disturbance in the force. This is the kind of code that makes code reviewers develop eye twitches and start muttering "string.toLowerCase() === 'true'" in their sleep.

The eternal struggle between doing things right and doing things that work. Instead of using parseInt() or Number() like a civilized developer, this mad genius is just removing the quotation marks with replaceAll() to convert a string to a number. It's the coding equivalent of using a hammer to screw in a lightbulb - horrifying yet somehow it works. The face on the left is every senior dev witnessing this crime against programming humanity, while the face on the right is the junior who's just proud they "solved" the problem without reading the docs.
