   @delroth@mastodon.delroth.net I hate ternary statements so much. I only think they make code less readable.

     @delroth@mastodon.delroth.net It's often like one of those "look at me I'm so smart" type of things that people do while not meaningfully changing the code.

     @SuperDicq @delroth as someone who finds terser code more readable *up to a point*, I'm happy with single ternary ops - but this example is just silly :(

     @srtcd424@mas.to @delroth@mastodon.delroth.net If your ternary statement does not fit into a single line, do not use a ternary.
