strings "true" and "false" ofc like any sane developer

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I got a better one: O for true and N for false.

Seen in production for quite important stuff (payment requests).

O is from Oui, N from Non, of course!

The system I work on uses "Y" and "N".

it allows for mood changes, some parts of the code can check charAt(0) == 't'others can do val != 'false' just let it flow.

And for double fun if the output doesn’t matter you can make if endsWith(“e”).
