The issue, presumably the PR (linked at the top of the issue because of reference).
Look at the code change. It gets inputs and loops over them and seems to do an in-place fixup. But the code indent is wrong, and it even changed the function definition of the unrelated next function. In Python, the indent-logic-significance language.
I assume they briefly showed the code on stage. Even then it should have been obvious to any developer. py file, messy indent, changes unrelated function.
Please correct me if this is the wrong PR.
Actually the function definition is unchanged. The line that was "added" at the bottom was also "removed" at the top. This is just the Git diff generator being confused, which won't come as a surprise to anyone that has ever used it.
The indendentation really is messed-up though.
An indentation change is a definition code change. And as I pointed out, it's a py file, and Python is an indent-significant language.
Of course, but you said:
It is weird to split the two in your sentence, as only the indentation of the next function definition was changed, not the definition itself.
You can just take the L and say you didn't see that the function definition that was "added" was just "removed" at the top. It is an easy mistake to make, I know I've done it many times.
That's not what happened though.
Changing the indent of the def changes the definition. That's my whole argument.
I don't get why you say "of course", agreeing with my point, but then "it was only the indentation that was changed".
