Well, a junior dev here. A cute female QA came to me with a request - "the field for the price already has precision up to 4 decimal places, but we don't like the 4 ugly zeroes, so if the number ends in zeroes, let it have only 2" - she said in the most innocent-like tone ever known to mankind. How easy I mumbled and accepted the task. As she was leaving she added - "oo almost forgot, we also would like it if all the data fields for the price that are shown in the tables also are formatted that way". As I was watching her better side, while she was getting reunited with her QA tribe, I got shivers down the spine. I had a bad feeling about that one, but I wasn't sure why yet. Suddenly as I was getting up to get a cup of coffe, it dawned on me - "this poor excuse for a project is using jqGrid for displaying the data". To wrap things up - I got a quadruple espresso with a shot of Jacky, developers best friend in a time of need, and came up with this piece of art. Enjoy :)

in_array($this->market, ["ru"])

There is an old mysterious legend, which says that those conditions are lightening fast which are using in_array($source, ["target"]) instead of just "==". Is says always that probably you never do code refactoring, and keep all shit alive
