I often have the pleasure of refactoring this mess.
And sometimes it’s not just 2 ternaries but like 4 or 5 thrown together.
It took like half an hour to even understand what was going on.
If you do this, you are just an evil person…
This shit always leaves me wondering who even writes this crap. The answer is more often than not a junior that just discovered code golf thinking he’s oh so clever. You learn to appreciate boring code, with experience…

So I totally support this. Stop this shit…
If you can use any of the jetBrains IDE it can rewrite it to if/else with a few clicks (or [alt] +[return])
Ah that would be helpful. Gotta try that the next time I encounter such a monstrosity.

Totally agree with you. I’m always an advocate for boring and easy to understand code.
I really don’t need an extra layer of complexity just so someone can save a line or two.
So I’m pretty sure nested ternaries violate one of the Geneva Conventions’ optional protocols.
Perfect job for ChatGPT.
