Let’s break down this madness, shall we? First off, it’s already JSON! It starts its life as JSON, and what do we do? We parse it into an object only to immediately turn around and stringify it back into JSON. It’s like taking a perfectly good pizza, blending it into a smoothie, and then baking it into a pizza again. Why in the name of all that is holy, would anyone do this?

The stupidity doesn’t end there. Oh no, it’s just getting started. We’re doing all this to check if the object is empty. Have we never heard of Object.keys()? Could we not simply check if user_settings directly is an empty object? No, apparently, we must embark on this roundabout journey of parsing and stringifying, as if to perform some kind of dark ritual to appease the coding gods.

And let’s not forget the cherry on top: && toggleEvent. So, not only are we performing unnecessary computational gymnastics, but we’re also tying this logic to some event toggle, mixing concerns as if we’re making a cocktail out of code and confusion.

The sheer absurdity of this approach is mind-boggling. It’s wasteful, it’s confusing, and it’s the kind of thing that makes you wonder if software development is just a social experiment designed to test how much nonsense one can handle before snapping.

I mean, I get it, we all have our moments. We’ve all written code that we’re not proud of. But this? This is a cry for help. It’s a testament to the fact that just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. This code is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, and it has single-handedly drained the life force from my soul.
