    I feel like I need more context here. What templating language is this, and why is its progress a string representing a full sentence?

      Pretty sure it’s an autocomplete (like copilot or something)

      They were typing

      progress != “Hold”

      And the ai autocomplete suggested

      progress != “Hold onto your butts!”

      Hence why the completion part is in grey (it’s a suggestion)

        You can configure your editor to do that. I did it in nvim.

        However my teachers always told me to stop doing it. I am yet to learn the reason why.

          Are your teachers reading your screens a lot? Because it’s a PITA to read if you’re not using it yourself.

          Also if you demo code you should switch to the more traditional so that others don’t have a hard time reading.

          Basically it’s just down to the human brains amazing ability to do pattern recognition subconsciously so you don’t have to actively think about what that symbol means - unless someone used a different symbol.

            Not a lot but they warn me of weird copy and paste shenanigans. But normally the compiler gives out a warning and when copying text is just simple.

      It’s React JSX, and progress is a custom string in our project that can at most hold “Hold on…”.
