This week's hack is about cleaning duplicate values from Arrays
The Neat Dev version:
let myArr = ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd']
console.log([...new Set(myArr)])
// Outputs: (7) ["h", "e", "l", "o", "w", "r", "d"]
The Ninja Dev version:
Because, why not add 15 lines of code and useless comments, right!?
let u = [], a = ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd']
for(z in a) {
let t = false
// Because a for loop is always better than Array.includes()
for(g in u) {
// Ninjas reap maximum benefit from IF statements
if(a[z] === u[g]) // Readability matters
t = true
}
// See? The more IFs, the better
if(!t)
u.push(j)
}
console.log(u)
// Outputs: the same, but a little more tired of typing

Ninja code is bad - scratch that, legendary - in their readability and maintainability, not performance.
A true ninja would write
$: for(z in a) {$$: for(g in u) {and
break $$True 😄
