CodeSOD: Do a Flip

Kendall discovered flawed code they had written and committed without testing. The code attempted to make negative values positive, but an error resulted in all values becoming zero. This issue persisted for months before being addressed due to the lack of tests. Despite its simplicity, Kendall considered the code overthought, highlighting the fine line between overthinking and underthinking in programming. The flawed code served as a cautionary tale about the importance of testing and avoiding overly complex solutions.
