# The dumbest piece of code I've EVER written.
#
# I REALLY don't know WTF I was thinking, or not thinking.
# I must have been drunk and asleep while I wrote this method.
#
# It's not only stupid, but IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK! *stabs self in face*

def stupid_method
  data = fetch.some(:data)
  if !(data.prop_1 == "something" && data.prop_2 == "something else")
    @result = false
  else
    @result = true
  end
  @result = true
end

# Looking at it today, I fixed it in 30 seconds after screaming
# "WHAT THE FUCK?!?" for 25 seconds.

def stupid_method
  data = fetch.some(:data)
  @result = false
  if data.prop_1 == "something" && data.prop_2 == "something else"
    @result = true
  end
end

Further simplification:

def stupid_method
  data = fetch.some(:data)
  @result = (data.prop_1 == "something" && data.prop_2 == "something else")
end
