You have to be at least a little bit insane to be a developer. It's OK.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

that code means that it must really be 'true' not 'TRUE' or 1, or even non-zero. There are a lot of cases where it makes sense. So such code might get enforced by some source code scanner policies. :cool: You learn to honor such tools, when co-working with some code-jockeys :~

KarstenK's post reminds me of DCL and the many things that test as True -- including (but not limited to) 'Y', '1'...

Because Javascript equality is so f*cked that you have to know when to use
==vs.===, and even then there's some weird BS with the null, empty, void, dunno, you're guess is as good as mine states that a Javascript variable can be in that it only makes sense to equate to a literal string?
