Sample 1

Assumptions

The request parameter passed to the method is a standard Rails request object.

1. What does this method do?

This method checks if the request came from a list of known bots. It returns true if the user agent -- the part of request that describes the kind of browser or "agent" that was used to make the request -- contains any of the bot identifier words defined in code. In this case it specifically looks for SEOkicks or Semrush bots.

From the name of the method, I assume that the method is used in context with blocking a request from a bot. I had to look up the specific bots mentioned here. They look like web crawlers that index backlink information.

There are many reasons one would want to block crawlers including preventing unnecessary traffic and spamming on the site, preventing indexing of duplicate content, and prevent scraping data from your site.

	// Bad comment
	// Dividing time by 24.623 and converting to integer
	var days = parseInt(time / 24.623);

	// Better code and comment
	const HOURS_IN_MARS_DAY = 24.623;

	// Calculate the number of full days spent on mars
	var daysOnMars = parseInt(timeSpentOnMars / HOURS_IN_MARS_DAY);
