This always evaluates to True if it’s non-empty. There’s no extra logic.
If you have to keep 12 things in your head, your code is poorly structured/documented. A given function should be simple, making it plainly obvious what it’s intended to do. Use type hints to specify what a variable should be, and use static analysis to catch most deviations. The more you trust your tools, the more assumptions you can safely make.
But that’s an extra step of logic u must hold in ur head while trying to understand 12 other things.
