Eventually, cognitive decline will win the day and I will be confused by simple use of conditional operators. Until then, I'm with you pal.

Disagree, most employers are so desperate for somebody who can show up every day and throw some code together that they will make all kinds of excuses for the candidate. Plus most interviewers know jack and are easily impressed. That said,
