Why I'm Not a React Native Developer

Please what kind of programmer would ever do this?

    if (weAreConnected === true) {
      this.setState({
        isConnected: true
      })
    } 
    else {
      this.setState({
        isConnected: false
      })
    }

That is just verbose unnecessarily:

    this.setState({ isConnected: weAreConnected });

And probably not so popular, but this:

    var color;
    if (this.state.isConnected) {
      color = 'green'
    }
    else {
      color = 'red'
    }

Would be simplified often to:

    var color = this.state.isConnected ? 'green' : 'red';

A programmer whose output is measured by LOC...

"Please what kind of programmer would ever do this?"

I've seen some coding rules/guides that explicitly forbid short form of 'if' statement usage.

That statement is about the first code block; the second one as I commented is totally optional and I agree that it might not follow some code rules (;

Before 1900 Frege pointed out that we don't need to say, "The sea is salty is true"; we can just say "The sea is salty". A century later it still hasn't sunk in.

That's syntax sugar in the English language

Someone with an interesting development development history (maybe C?), with little grasp of the idioms of newer coding styles.
