“If else” will be the downfall of humanity…

Set the scene: Late Wednesday evening.  The entire project must be functional by the following afternoon.  But the velocity calculations continue to be erratic.  WHY?

Enter Matt.

Matt: Hey, should this "if else" statement just be an "if"?

Jon: Uh…yeah.

Matt: That would be dumb if that solved the whole problem.

Jon: Yeah.  Let's try running it.

Running code.

Jon: It seems fine now.

Matt: Son of a B!t&#!

And so ended the war between code and coder.
