The Daily WTF

A developer hunting bugs found a correct one-line ternary expression handling SI vs binary storage unit conversion in JavaScript, then replaced it with ten lines of incorrect code. The rewrite discards `const`, compares booleans against boolean literals instead of using simple negation, skips `else` where appropriate, and critically inverts the logic — assigning base 1000 when SI is false and base 1024 when SI is true, the exact opposite of correct behavior.

Terned Backwards

<p>OMG, these intrepid junior developers!</p>
<p>I love ternary operations for their clarity and brevity. In measured quantities.</p>
