What happens when flirting collides with programming logic. The blue texter drops a "ternary operation" joke about what appears to be a picture, and suddenly they're both speaking the sacred language of code nerds.
For the uninitiated, a ternary operation is a conditional expression that takes the form condition ? value_if_true : value_if_false
— which explains why they're both typing "really ? 😢 : [some emoji]" afterward.
Nothing says romance like finding someone who gets your obscure syntax jokes and responds with matching code format. These two deserve each other in the most beautiful, nerdy way possible.
